The only statement that holds for the given operation is Statement II

<h3>Operations and numbers</h3>

Given the following operartions

a [] b = a+b - ab/2

We need to<u> check the true statement</u>

For the expression x [] (y+z) =  x [] y +  x [] z

x [] (y+z) = x+y+z - x(y+z)/2

x [] (y+z) = x+y+z - (xy+xz)/2

x [] y +x [] z =  x+y - xy/2 +[x+z - xz/2 ]

x [] y +x [] z = x+y+x+z -xy/2 - xz/2

x [] y +x [] z = 2x+y+z - (xy+xz)/2

This shows that the statement I is incorrect

For the second statement

y [] z =  y+z - yz/2

x [] (y [] z) = x + (y+z - yz/2) - x(y+z-yz/2)/2

x [] (y [] z) = x+y+z-yz/2 -xy/2 - xz/2+xyz/4

For the other expression

x [] y =  x+y - xy/2

(x [] y) [] z = x+y - xy/2 + z - z(x+y - xy/2)/2

(x [] y) [] z = x+y+z- xy/2 -zx/2 - zy/2 + xyz/4

This shows that x [] (y [] z) = (x [] y) [] z is correct (Statement II)

For the third statement

x [] z =  x+z - xz/2

y [] z =  y+z - yz/2

z [] 0 = z+0 - z(0)/2

z [] 0 = z

x[]z + y[]z - z[]0 = x+z - xz/2 + y+z - yz/2 - z

x[]z + y[]z - z[]0 = x+y+z - xz/2 - yz/2

For the expression (x+y)[] z

(x+y)[] z = (x+y)+z - (xyz)/2

Hence the statement III is not valid

Based on the explanations above, the only statement that holds for the given operation is Statement II
