Question

Evaluate the given expression.

$$\{15 \times 32 \div 2\} \div \{75 \div 5\}$$

The correct answer is

16

To solve this expression, we apply the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), working from the innermost groupings outward.

Step 1: Solve the First Set of Braces

Calculate the value of $\{15 \times 32 \div 2\}$. Since multiplication and division have the same priority, we calculate from left to right:

Multiplication: $15 \times 32 = 480$

Division: $480 \div 2 = \mathbf{240}$

Step 2: Solve the Second Set of Braces

Calculate the value of $\{75 \div 5\}$:

Division: $75 \div 5 = \mathbf{15}$

Step 3: Final Division

Now, divide the result of the first set by the result of the second set:

$$240 \div 15 = \mathbf{16}$$

Summary of Steps

$$\{15 \times 32 \div 2\} \div \{75 \div 5\}$$

$$\{480 \div 2\} \div \{15\}$$

$$240 \div 15 = 16$$

Final Answer:

The result is 16.

  4. Below is given a pair of questions, which are required to be answered, and a triad of statements. Which group of statements is sufficient to answer both the questions? 

    Question 1: Who is sitting opposite to Q? 

    Question 2: Who is sitting to the right of Q? 

    Statement 1 : P and U are sitting on left and right sides of T, respectively 

    Statement 2: P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a round table with six chairs 

    Statement 3: Q is NOT sitting on the immediate left side of R

  5. Area of a rectangle with length x and breadth y is P and area of a parallelogram (which is strictly not a rectangle) with adjacent sides of length x and y is Q.
    Question : Is \(P > Q\)?
    Statement-I: \(x : y = 2 : 1\)
    Statement-II: The angle between the two adjacent sides of the parallelogram is \(60^\circ\).
