(764 x ?) ÷ 250 = 382
  • a)
    135
  • b)
    125
  • c)
    115
  • d)
    145
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

Given equation:

(764 x ?) ÷ 250 = 382

Solving for ?:

(764 x ?) = 382 x 250

? = (382 x 250) / 764

? = 125

Therefore, the value of ? is 125.

So, the correct answer is B: 125.

1(2/3) + 2(4/9)  – 3(7/15) =  ?
  • a)
    0.14

    0.55
  • c)
    0.72
  • d)
    0.58
  • e)
    0.46
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
To add these two mixed numbers, we need to first convert them to improper fractions:

1(2/3) = (3*1 + 2)/3 = 5/3
2(4/9) = (9*2 + 4)/9 = 22/9

Now, we can add the two fractions:

5/3 + 22/9

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 3 and 9 is 9. We can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 9:

5/3 * 3/3 = 15/9
22/9 * 1/1 = 22/9

Now we can add the two fractions:

15/9 + 22/9 = 37/9

This is an improper fraction, so we can convert it back to a mixed number:

37/9 = 4(1/9)

Therefore, 1(2/3) + 2(4/9) = 4(1/9).

856 x 567 = ?

Sajal Bdw answered
An easy way (here) just multiply units digit of two number
6×7=42 so whatever the number will be it will have unit place 2 therefore the answer is D

8934 – 3257 + 481 = ? + 2578
  • a)
    3250
  • b)
    3580
  • c)
    3560
  • d)
    3480
  • e)
    3520
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
Calculation:

- First, perform the subtraction: 8934 - 3257 = 5677
- Then, add 481 to the result: 5677 + 481 = 6158
- Finally, subtract 2578 from both sides to find the missing value: 6158 - 2578 = 3580

Therefore, the missing value is 3580. So, the answer is B: 3580.
