Question : 1

If ${1120}/{√{P}}$ = 80, then P is equal to

a) 225

b) 14

c) 196

d) 140

Answer: (c)

80 × $√{P}$ = 1120

$√{P} = 1120/80 = 14$

P = $(14)^2 = 196$

Question : 2

Simplify : ${2{3/4}}/{1{5/6}} ÷ {7/8} × (1/3 + 1/4) + 5/7 ÷ {3/4} of {3/7}$

a) 3$2/9$

b) $56/77$

c) $2/3$

d) $49/80$

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

The given expression

${2{3/4}}/{1{5/6}} ÷ {7/8} × (1/3 + 1/4) + 5/7 ÷ {3/4} of {3/7}$

= ${11/4}/{11/6} ÷ {7/8} × ({4+3}/12) + 5/7 ÷ {3/4} of {3/7}$

= $(11/4 × 6/11) ÷ {7/8} × 7/12 + 5/7 ÷ (3/4 × 3/7)$

= ${3/2} ÷ {7/8} × 7/12 + {5/7} ÷ {9/28}$

= ${3/2} × {8/7} × 7/12 + {5/7} ×{28/9}$

= $1 + 20/9 = {9+20}/9 = 29/9 = 3{2}/9$

Question : 3

1– [5 - {2 + (– 5 + 6 - 2) 2}] is equal to :

a) –2

b) –4

c) 0

d) 2

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

? = 1 - [5 - {2 + (–1)2}]

= 1 - [5 - {2 - 2}]

= 1 - [5 - 0]

= 1 - 5 = - 4

Question : 4

5 - [4 - {3 - (3 - 3 - 6)}] is equal to :

a) 0

b) 10

c) 4

d) 6

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

An expression must be simplified by following defined order/sequence known as VBODMAS, which is given by:

1st step, V - Vineculum (line brackets)/Bar
  B - Brackets
  O - Of
  D - Division
  M - Multiplication
  A - Addition
Last step, S - Subtraction

There are four types of brackets given below.

  1. – → Line/Bar
  2. ( ) → Simple or Small Bracket/open brackets
  3. { } → Curly Brackets/Braces
  4. [ ] → Square Brackets/Closed brackets

These brackets must be solved in given order only.

? = 5 - [4 - {3 - (3– 3 - 6)}]

= 5 - [4 - { 3 - (– 6)}]

= 5 - [4 - {3 + 6}]

= 5 - [4 - 9]

= 5 + 5 = 10

Question : 5

$9 - 1{2/9} of 3{3/11} ÷ 5{1/7} of {7/9}$ is equal to :

a) $3/4$

b) 8

c) 8$32/81$

d) 9

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

Expression

= $9 - 11/9 of {36/11} ÷ {36/7} of 7/9$

= $9 - 11/9 × {36/11} ÷ {36/7} × 7/9$

= 9 - 4 ÷ 4

= $9 - 4 × 1/4$ = 9 - 1 = 8

Question : 6

$1/30 + 1/42 + 1/56 + 1/72 + 1/90 + 1/110$ = ?

a) $6/55$

b) $√{2}2/27$

c) $5/27$

d) $1/9$

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 2,

$1/{5×6} + 1/{6×7} + 1/{7×8} + 1/{8×9} + 1/{9×10} + 1/{10×11}$

= $1/5 - 1/6 + 1/6 - 1/7 + 1/7 - 1/8 + 1/8 - 1/9 +1/9 - 1/10 +1/10 - 1/11 +1/11$

= $1/5 - 1/11 ={11 - 5}/55 = 6/55$
