Q:

Direction: What value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?

12.5×14÷8.75+42=50+?

A) 18 B) 12
C) 32 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

By replacing the “?” with “x”

(12.5×14÷8.75) x (100/100) + 42 = 50 + X

(125*140)/875 + 42 = 50 + X

140/7 + 42 = 50 + X

20 + 42 = 50 + X

62 = 50 + X

X = 62 - 50

X = 12

Q:

What is the place value of 6 in 64?

A) 6 B) 60
C) 64 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

 

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
