If (48 ÷ 72 × 3) – [15 ÷ 8 × (40 – 32) – 10] + 2P = 6 ÷ 2, then find the value of P?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3.
Given that
If (48 ÷ 72 × 3) – [15 ÷ 8 × (40 – 32) – 10] + 2P = 6 ÷ 2
⇒ (48 ÷ 72 × 3) – [15 ÷ 8 × (40 – 32) – 10] + 2P = 6 ÷ 2
⇒ (48/72) × 3 – [(15/8) × 8 – 10] + 2P = 3
⇒ 2 - (15 - 10) + 2P = 3
⇒ 2 - 5 + 2P = 3
⇒ 2P = 3 + 3 = 6
⇒ P = 6/2 = 3
