Using BODMAS Rule,

First solve division, mutiplication and Addition

So here 10/2 = 5

Then 2 x 5 =  10

Now, 5 + 10 = 15.

Hence, 5 + 2 x 10/2 = 15.

Any number which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers like P & Q as P/Q where Q is not equal to zero.

Every integer is a rational number since Q can be 1.

Hence, in the given options, 4 can be expressed as a simple fraction as 4/1. And all other options cannot be expressed as fractions.

Hence, 4 is a rational number in the given options.

Let the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 100

Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91

Then, from the given data,

=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15

=> 21 (1/2) = 15

=> 43 = 15

Then 100 = ?

1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35

Hence, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35

3/8 as a Decimal :

In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple.

Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125

=> 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375

1/10 as a Decimal :

1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.

Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.
