I sat for an employment test today and candidates were given ten(10) minutes to discuss the above subject.
It depends on the perspective with which an individual wants to view the
equation.For instance,if we were to look at it from mathematics
angle,then the following conditions would apply:
(1) The number bases
you are working with.If it were to be base ten,then the answer would be
2.However,if it were to be base two,the answer would be "10"(pronounced
one-zero)
(2)The operation the cross symbol represents.That is,the
concept of binary operation would be looked at.In binary operation,the
cross or plus sign is not regarded as the "normal addition" operator.Any
sign that comes in-between two numbers in binary operation is often
expressed as "opertion".For example, 1+1 is read as "one operation
one".Of course, in binary operation if the plus sign actually means
addition,then one of the rule would apply;1+1= 1.
Again, if the
equation is to be looked at from social perspective,then the institution
of marriage would come to mind.In marriage: 1+1=1
Just my contribution.
