  • Question
  • 5 - [3/4 +{2 1/ 2 - (1/2 + 1/6 - 1/7 )}]/2 =?


  • Options
  • A. 123/168
  • B. 223/168
  • C. 323/168
  • D. 423/168

  • Correct Answer
  • 123/168 

    Explanation

    ? = 5 - [3/4 + {5/2 - (1/2 + 1/6 - 1/7)}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + {5/2 - (1/2 + 7 - 6/42 )}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + {5/2 - (1/2 + 1/42)}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + {5/2 - (21 + 1/42)}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + {5/2 - 22/42)}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + {105 - 22/42)}]/2
    = 5 - [3/4 + 83/42]/2 = 5 - [63 + 166/84]/2
    = 5 - 229/84/2 = 420 - 229/84/2 = 191/84/2
    = 191/84 x 2 = 191/168 = 123/168
