Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 231

Understanding Application
We will use the BODMAS concept to solve the given question while solving it step by step.

This daunting-looking equation will not be as much difficult as it may look, be with me to solve this equation stepwise.

A = [3 / 7 of 4(1 / 5) / (18 / 25) + (17 / 24)] of [(289 / 16) / (3 / 4 + 2 / 3)2]

We will solve 'O' of

⇒ A = [(9 / 5) / (18 / 25) + (17 / 24)] of [(289 / 16) / (3 / 4 + 2 / 3)2]

We will solve 'D' divisions

⇒ A = [(5 / 2) + (17 / 24)] of [(289 / 16) / (3 / 4 + 2 / 3)2]

We can solve brackets inside at any time but now the rest part is solved so we can.

⇒ A = [(5 / 2) + (17 / 24)] of [(289 / 16) /(289 / 144)]

Now we can do the division,

⇒ A = [(5 / 2) + (17 / 24)] of [9]

We can proceed to 'A' addition,

⇒ A = [(5 / 2) + (17 / 24)] of [9]

⇒ A = [77 / 24] of [9]

⇒ A = 231 / 8

We need to find 8A, which would be

8A = 231
