  • Question
  • (25)7.5 x (5)2.5 ÷ (125)1.5 = 5?


  • Options
  • A. 8.5
  • B. 13
  • C. 16
  • D. 17.5
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 13 

    Explanation
    Let (25) 7.5 x (5) 2.5 ÷ (125) 1.5 = 5 x
    Then, (52)7.5 x (5)2.5 = 5x
    (53)1.5

    5(2 x 7.5) x 52.5 = 5x
    5(3 x 1.5)

    515 x 52.5 = 5x
    54.5

    ⟹ 5x = 5(15 + 2.5 - 4.5)

    ⟹ 5x = 513

    x = 13.
