Detailed Solution

We have been given,
Sakshi used addition and Ram used multiplying to solve a word problem about the weekly cost of commuting by toll tax for Rs. 15 each day.
As we know, multiplication is an evolution of addition.
There are 7 days in a week and each day's toll is Rs. 15.
Thus, the weekly toll calculated by Sakshi will be,

15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 105

And similarly, the weekly toll calculated by Ravi will be,
=

15 \times 7

= 105

Both Sakshi and Ram got the same answer, because multiplication is evolution of addition.
Therefore, our statement is true.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
