74 × 2.5 + 13 × 5 =?
What will come in the place of question (?) mark in the following question.

The correct option is 250.

To find the value of the question mark (?), we need to evaluate the given arithmetic expression following the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), which dictates performing multiplication before addition.

Given Expression:

$74\times 2.5+13\times 5=?$

Step 1: Calculate the first multiplication term (74 × 2.5)

We can break down 2.5 into $\frac{5}{2}$:

$74\times 2.5=74\times \frac{5}{2}$

$=37\times 5=185$

Step 2: Calculate the second multiplication term (13 × 5)

$13\times 5=65$

Step 3: Add the two results together

$?=185+65$

$?=250$

Thus, the value in place of the question mark (?) is 250.
