A binary operation \(\otimes\) is defined by \(m \otimes n = mn + m - n\) on the set of real numbers, for all m, n \(\in\) R. Find the value of 3 \(\otimes\) (2 \(\otimes\) 4).
A
6
B
25
C
15
D
18
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(m \otimes n = mn + m - n\)
3 \(\otimes\) (2 \(\otimes\) 4)
2 \(\otimes\) 4 = 2(4) + 2 - 4 = 6
3 \(otimes\) 6 = 3(6) + 3 - 6 = 15
