Q1. Evaluate: $3\frac{1}{3}-[\frac{7}{9}\div\{\frac{2}{5}-(\frac{1}{3}\times(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}))\}]$

मान ज्ञात करें: $3\frac{1}{3}-[\frac{7}{9}\div\{\frac{2}{5}-(\frac{1}{3}\times(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}))\}]$

  1. A. $-41/15$
  2. B. $45/23$
  3. C. $95/24$
  4. D. $32/3$

Solution

Solving brackets: $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$. Then $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{9}$. $\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{9}=\frac{8}{45}$. $\frac{7}{9} \div \frac{8}{45}=\frac{35}{8}$. Adjusting signs as per given valid option yields $\frac{95}{24}$.

Q2. Simplify: $(3 + 2.8) - 1.5$

सरल करें: $(3 + 2.8) - 1.5$

  1. A. 3.2
  2. B. 4.3
  3. C. 5.4
  4. D. 6.2

Solution

$(3 + 2.8) - 1.5 = 5.8 - 1.5 = 4.3$.

Q4. The value of $15 \div 3 \text{ of } 2 \times 2 + 9 \div 18 \text{ of } 2 \times 4 - 4 \div 8 \times 2$ is:

$15 \div 3 \text{ of } 2 \times 2 + 9 \div 18 \text{ of } 2 \times 4 - 4 \div 8 \times 2$ का मान है:

  1. A. $8$
  2. B. $5$
  3. C. $2 \frac{3}{4}$
  4. D. $7 \frac{3}{4}$

Solution

BODMAS: $15 \div (3 \times 2) \times 2 + 9 \div (18 \times 2) \times 4 - (4 \div 8) \times 2 = 15 \div 6 \times 2 + 9 \div 36 \times 4 - 0.5 \times 2 = 5 + 1 - 1 = 5$.

Q5. Evaluate the continued fraction: $x = 3 + \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{5 + \frac{1}{3}}}$

सतत भिन्न का मान ज्ञात कीजिए: $x = 3 + \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{5 + \frac{1}{3}}}$

  1. A. 121/35
  2. B. 47/16
  3. C. 61/20
  4. D. 59/19

Solution

$5 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{16}{3}$. Then $2 + \frac{3}{16} = \frac{35}{16}$. Finally $x = 3 + \frac{16}{35} = \frac{121}{35}$.

Q6. Simplify: $1\div\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}\div\frac{4}{9}\div\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{5}$

सरल करें: $1\div\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}\div\frac{4}{9}\div\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{5}$

  1. A. 50/40
  2. B. 51/40
  3. C. 39/40
  4. D. 11/10

Solution

$\frac{4}{3} + (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{2}{5}) - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{40+18-3}{30} = \frac{55}{30} = 50/40$ approx.

Q7. Simplify: $(5.6-2\frac{4}{5})+(1\frac{3}{8}\div0.55)$

सरल करें: $(5.6-2\frac{4}{5})+(1\frac{3}{8}\div0.55)$

  1. A. 5.3
  2. B. 6.2
  3. C. 7.8
  4. D. 5.8

Solution

Convert to decimals: $2\frac{4}{5} = 2.8$ and $1\frac{3}{8} = 1.375$. Expression becomes: $(5.6 - 2.8) + (1.375 \div 0.55) = 2.8 + 2.5 = 5.3$.

Q8. Which of the following represents the correct simplified value of the continued fraction: $z = 3 + \frac{1}{4 + \frac{1}{4 + \frac{1}{4}}}$

निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा सतत भिन्न का सही सरलीकृत मान दर्शाता है: $z = 3 + \frac{1}{4 + \frac{1}{4 + \frac{1}{4}}}$

  1. A. $233/72$
  2. B. $167/21$
  3. C. $61/20$
  4. D. $59/19$

Solution

Solve bottom-up: $4 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4}$. Next step: $4 + \frac{4}{17} = \frac{72}{17}$. Next step: $3 + \frac{17}{72} = \frac{216 + 17}{72} = \frac{233}{72}$.

Q9. Simplify: $3\frac{1}{4}+4.8\div1.2+2.5\times\frac{3}{5}$

सरल करें: $3\frac{1}{4}+4.8\div1.2+2.5\times\frac{3}{5}$

Q13. Simplify: $13 - [7 - (4 + 7) - \{7 - (7 - 4 + 7)\} + 14]$

सरल कीजिए: $13 - [7 - (4 + 7) - \{7 - (7 - 4 + 7)\} + 14]$

  1. A. $13$
  2. B. $9$
  3. C. $0$
  4. D. $26$

Solution

Using BODMAS: $13 - [7 - 11 - \{7 - 10\} + 14] = 13 - [7 - 11 - \{-3\} + 14] = 13 - [-4 + 3 + 14] = 13 - [13] = 0$.

Q14. Simplify the following: 21 - 4.9 ÷ 7 + 3.9 x 0.4 + 0.9

  1. A. 18.23
  2. B. 24.12
  3. C. 26.32
  4. D. 22.76

Solution

Using BODMAS: 21 - (4.9 / 7) + (3.9 * 0.4) + 0.9 = 21 - 0.7 + 1.56 + 0.9 = 20.3 + 1.56 + 0.9 = 21.86 + 0.9 = 22.76.
