Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 292\over9.

According to the given question,

x + 11+13+12{1\over{1+{1\over3+{1\over2}}}} = 1

⇒ x + 11+172{1\over{1+{1\over {7\over2}}}} = 1

⇒ x + 11+27{1\over{1+{2\over 7}}} = 1

⇒ x + 197{1\over{{9\over 7}}} = 1

⇒ x + 79{7\over 9} = 1

⇒ x = 1 - 79{7\over 9}

 ⇒ x = 292\over9

Hence the value of x is 292\over9.
