Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e 1/2

Given,

P = , Q = , R = 

Now, (P × Q) ÷ R = [x.(x3 - 8)] / [x.(x2 - x - 2)] × (x +1)2 / [(x - 5).(x + 1)] × (x - 5) / [(x2 + 2x + 4).2]

 = 1/2 [(x -2).(x2 + 2x + 4).(x + 1) / (x - 2).(x + 1).(x2 + 2x + 4)]

= 1/2
