Given:
A = 412*378

Therefore, 412*379 = 412*(378 + 1) = 412*378 + 412*1 = A + 412(Option D)

412 x 379 = 412 (378+ 1) i.e 412x378 + 412 i.e A + 412. Answer D

Simply understand what multiplication means:

412 * 378 means 378 times 412 is added.
412 * 379 means 379 times 412 is added.

So 412 * 379 will be a 412 more than 412 * 378

Which is A + 412

412*379 = 412(378 + 1) = 412*378 + 412

Since 412*378 = A, then 412*378 + 412 = A + 412.
