simplification questions with solutions

1. \(\displaystyle \frac{9}{{10}}+\frac{3}{{11}}+\frac{7}{{15}}=?\)

(a) \(\displaystyle 1\frac{{217}}{{330}}\)

(b) \(\displaystyle 1\frac{{221}}{{330}}\)

(c) \(\displaystyle 1\frac{{211}}{{330}}\)

(d) \(\displaystyle 1\frac{{197}}{{330}}\)

(e) None of these


Solution: (c)
\(\displaystyle ?=\frac{9}{{10}}+\frac{3}{{11}}+\frac{7}{{15}}=\frac{{297+90+154}}{{330}}\)
= \(\displaystyle \frac{{541}}{{330}}=1\frac{{211}}{{330}}\)

2. \(\displaystyle \frac{{57}}{{67}}\times \frac{{32}}{{171}}\times \frac{{45}}{{128}}=?\)

(a)  \(\displaystyle \frac{{15}}{{262}}\)

(b)  \(\displaystyle \frac{{15}}{{268}}\)

(c)  \(\displaystyle \frac{{15}}{{266}}\)

(d)  \(\displaystyle \frac{{17}}{{268}}\)

(e) None of these


Solution: (b)
\(\displaystyle ?=\frac{{57}}{{67}}\times \frac{{32}}{{171}}\times \frac{{45}}{{128}}=\frac{{15}}{{268}}\)

3. \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}of\frac{1}{2}of\frac{3}{4}of52000=?\)

(a) 4875

(b) 4857

(c) 4785

(d) 4877

(e) None of these


Solution: (a)
\(\displaystyle ?=52000\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}=4875\)

4. 38% of 4500 – 25% of ? = 1640

(a) 260

(b) 270

(c) 280

(d) 290

(e) None of these


Solution: (c)
\(\displaystyle \frac{{4500\times 38}}{{100}}-\frac{{?\times 25}}{{100}}=1640\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle 1710-\frac{?}{4}=1640\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle \frac{?}{4}=1710-1640=70\)
Therefore, \(\displaystyle ?=4\times 70=280\)

5. \(\displaystyle (5863-\sqrt{{2704}})\times 0.5=?\)

(a) 2955.5

(b) 2905.5

(c) 2590.5

(d) 2909.5

(e) None of these


Solution: (b)
\(\displaystyle ?=(5863-\sqrt{{2704}})\times 0.5\)
\(\displaystyle ?=(5863-52)\times 0.5\)
\(\displaystyle ?=5811\times 0.5=2905.5\)

6. \(\displaystyle 283\times 56+252=20\times ?\)

(a) 805

(b) 803

(c) 807

(d) 809

(e) None of these


Solution: (a)
\(\displaystyle 283\times 56+252=20\times ?\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle 15848+252=20\times ?\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle 16100=20\times ?\)
Therefore, \(\displaystyle ?=\frac{{16100}}{{20}}=805\)

7. \(\displaystyle 526\times 12+188=50\times ?\)

(a) 120

(b) 160

(c) 140

(d) 110

(e) None of these


Solution: (e)
\(\displaystyle 526\times 12+188=50\times ?\)
\(\displaystyle 6312+188=50\times ?\)
\(\displaystyle 6500=50\times ?\)
\(\displaystyle ?=\frac{{6500}}{{50}}=130\)

8. ?% of 5600 –28% of 3500 = 1988

(a) 58

(b) 55

(c) 51

(d) 53

(e) None of these


Solution: (d)
\(\displaystyle \frac{{5600\times ?}}{{100}}-\frac{{3500\times 28}}{{100}}=1988\)
\(\displaystyle 56\times ?-980=1988\)
\(\displaystyle 56\times ?=1988+980=2968\)
\(\displaystyle ?=\frac{{2968}}{{56}}=53\)

9. \(\displaystyle 2\frac{4}{5}-1\frac{3}{8}+3\frac{1}{2}=?\)

(a) \(\displaystyle 4\frac{{17}}{{40}}\)

(b) \(\displaystyle 4\frac{{37}}{{40}}\)

(c) \(\displaystyle 3\frac{{27}}{{40}}\)

(d) \(\displaystyle 3\frac{{11}}{{40}}\)

(e) None of these


Solution: (b)
\(\displaystyle ?=2+\frac{4}{5}-1-\frac{3}{8}+3+\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\displaystyle (2-1+3)+(\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{2})\)
\(\displaystyle 4+\frac{{32-15+20}}{{40}}=4+\frac{{37}}{{40}}=4\frac{{37}}{{40}}\)

10. \(\displaystyle {{(49)}^{2}}\times {{(7)}^{8}}+{{(343)}^{3}}={{(7)}^{?}}\)

(a) 3

(b) 11

(c) 7

(d) 9

(e) None of these


Solution: (a)
\(\displaystyle {{(49)}^{2}}\times {{7}^{8}}\div {{(343)}^{3}}={{7}^{?}}\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle {{({{7}^{2}})}^{2}}\times {{7}^{8}}\div {{({{7}^{3}})}^{3}}={{7}^{?}}\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle {{7}^{4}}\times {{7}^{8}}\div {{7}^{9}}={{7}^{?}}\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle {{7}^{{4+8-9}}}={{7}^{?}}\)
\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow \)\(\displaystyle {{7}^{3}}={{7}^{?}}\Rightarrow ?=3\)
