The logic followed here is:

In order to find the balance equation, check all options one by one.

Option (1) : -, ÷, +, =

117 – 13 ÷ 65 + 15 = 984

132 – 0.2 = 984

131.8 ≠ 984

Option (2) : ×, +, ÷, =

117 × 13 + 65 ÷ 15 = 984

1521 + 4.34 = 984

1525.34 ≠  984

Option (3) : ÷, +, ×, =

117 ÷ 13 + 65 × 15 = 984

9 + 975 = 984

984 = 984

Option (4) : +, ÷, ×, =

117 + 13 ÷ 65 × 15 = 984

117 + 0.2 × 15 = 984

117 + 3 = 984

120 ≠ 984

Hence, "÷, +, ×, =" is the correct answer.

(C) RB16 → R = 18, B = 2 → R - B = 16

(D) ZC23 → Z = 26, C = 3 → Z - C = 23

Therefore, 'DG4' is different from others.

Now,

So,

Divide equation (2) by (1)

Given:

a + b = 3

ab = - 4

Concept used:

( a + b )³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab ( a + b)

a³ + b³ = (a +b)³ - 3ab (a + b)

⇒ a³ + b³ = (3)³ - 3( - 4) (3)

⇒ a³ + b³ = 63

∴ a³ + b³ is 63.

Let the number of boys be 5x and the number of girls be 9x at the party.
