What is the value of: 10 - 0.5 {(9 + 2 - 5}?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7.
Explanation :
Given that, 10 - 0.5 {9 + 2 - 5}
Solving the bracket, {9 + 2 - 5} = 11 - 5 = 6 ....(i)
Now, 0.5 {9 + 2 - 5} = 0.5 × 6 = 3.0 ....(ii) {From (i)}
From (i) an (ii), 10 - 3.0 = 7.
Hence the required answer is 7.
