Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

130

Why this answer is correct

Concept used:

Calculation:

300 ÷ 12 of 5 + 250 ÷ 10 × 5 = ?

300 ÷ (12 × 5) + 250 ÷ 10 × 5 = ?

300/60 + 250/10 × 5 = ?

5 + 125 = 130 = ?

∴ The value of '?' is 130.

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

50

Why this answer is correct

Concept used:

Calculation:

157 – 700 × 3% of 2 – 13 × 5 = ?

157 – 700 × (3/100 × 2) – 13 × 5 = ?

157 – 700 × 6/100 – 13 × 5 = ?

157 – 42 – 65 = ?

? = 50

∴ The value of '?' is 50.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

8

Why this answer is correct

Concept used:

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,

Calculation:

0.360 ÷ 1.8 ÷ 0.25 × 100 —42 = ?2

0.36/(1.8 × 0.25) × 100 —16 = ?2

0.36/0.45 × 100 — 16 = ?2

0.8 × 100 — 16 = ?2

80 —16 = ?2

64 = 82 = ?2

? = 8

∴ The value of '?' is 8.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

13

Why this answer is correct

Concept used:

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,
