View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

15

Why this answer is correct

Calculations:

Total number of items brought by A in the year 2015 = 120

Total number of items brought by B in the year 2015 = 130

Difference between number items brought by B and A is 130 - 120 = 10

So, x – 5 = 10 ⇒  x = 15.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

475

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

125 ÷ 5 ×  171 ÷ 27 ÷ 249 ×  9 = x ÷ 83

25 ×  (171/27) ×  (1/249) ×  9 = x/83

25 ×  (19/3) ×  (3/83) = x/83

x = 25 ×  19

x = 475

Question 543

42 ÷ 6 ×  3 + 5 – (8 + 7) + 123 = x

  1. AOption (a)

    128

  2. BOption (b)

    134

  3. COption (c)

    126

  4. DOption (d)

    122

  5. EOption (e)

    118

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

134

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

42 ÷ 6 ×  3 + 5 – (8 + 7) + 123 = x

7 ×  3 + 5 – (15) + 123 = x

21 + 5 – 15 + 123 = x

x = 134

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

5000

Why this answer is correct

Concept used:

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

Step - 1: Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved second, and following BODMAS rule in the bracket

Step - 2: Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next.

Step - 3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated.

Step - 4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated.

Calculations:

5265 ÷ 117 + 67 × 85 - 1172 + 289 + 263 - 120 = (?)

⇒ 45 + 5695 - 1172 + 289 + 263 - 120 = (?)

⇒  45 + 5695 - 1172 + 289 + 263 - 120 = (?)

⇒ 6292 - 1292 = (?)

⇒ ? = 5000

Hence, the correct answer is 5000.

Answer: (a)A.

10

Why this answer is correct

Given:

(√1024 + 19 × 12) ÷ √676 - 4 + 4680 ÷ ? = 474

Concept Used:

​

Calculation:

(√1024 + 19 × 12) ÷ √676 - 4 + 4680 ÷ ? = 474

⇒ (32 + 228) ÷ 26 - 4 + 4680 ÷ ? = 474

⇒ 10 - 4 + 4680 ÷ ? = 474

⇒ 4680 ÷ ? = 468

⇒ 4680 ÷ 468 = ?

⇒ ? = 10

∴ The value of (?) is 10.

Answer: (b)B.

16

Why this answer is correct

Given:  

(14)2 × 10 ÷ 4 - (15)2 + 16 = ?2 + 52

Concept Used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

(14)2 × 10 ÷ 4 - (15)2 + 16 = ?2 + 52

⇒ 196 × 10 × 1/4 - 225 + 16 = ?2 + 25

⇒ 98 × 5 - 225 + 16 = ?2 + 25

⇒ 490 - 225 + 16 = ?2 + 25

⇒ 490 - 225 + 16 - 25 = ?2 

⇒  ?2 = 506 - 250 = 256

⇒ ? = √256 = 16

∴ 16 will come in place of the question mark '?'.
