Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 81/32

[5/7 of  - 5/8 of 6/7] ÷ [1 - 1/7 × (5/12 + 1/3)] × [(1/7)/(1/9)]/[(1/7) + (1/9)]

⇒ [5/7 of 11/8 - 15/28] ÷ [1 - 1/7 × (3/4)] × (9/7)/[(1/7) + (1/9)]

⇒ [55/56 - 15/28] ÷ [1 - 3/28] × (9/7)/(16/63)

⇒ [25/56] ÷ [25/28] × 81/16

⇒ 1/2 × 81/16 = 81/32
