Correct Answer :

Option A

234

Solution :

The correct option is 234.

To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), solving the numerator and denominator separately.

The given expression is:

[ 3 1 4 ÷ { 1 1 4 0.5 ( 2 1 2 1 12 ) } ] 5 × 1 15

Step 1: Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions
3 1/4 = 13/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
2 1/2 = 5/2

Step 2: Simplify the innermost parentheses in the numerator
Calculate (2 1/2 - 1/12):

2 1 2 1 12 = 5 2 1 12 = 30 12 1 12 = 29 12

Step 3: Multiply by 0.5
Convert 0.5 to fraction form (1/2) and multiply:

0.5 × 29 12 = 1 2 × 29 12 = 29 24

Step 4: Simplify inside the curly braces
Subtract this result from 1 1/4:

1 1 4 29 24 = 5 4 29 24 = 30 24 29 24 = 1 24

Step 5: Perform the division inside the square brackets (Numerator complete)
Divide 3 1/4 by 1/24:

3 1 4 ÷ 1 24 = 13 4 × 24 = 13 × 6 = 78

Step 6: Simplify the denominator

5 × 1 15 = 5 15 = 1 3

Step 7: Final division of Numerator by Denominator

78 1 3 = 78 × 3 = 234

Therefore, the value of the expression is 234.
