Correct Answer :

Option D

1

Solution :

The correct answer is 1.

We need to solve the equation:

855÷15-k+32×5=1152÷16×111÷37

We follow the BODMAS rule — Multiplication and Division are performed before Addition and Subtraction, and among equal-priority operations (like ÷ and ×), we work left to right.

Step 1: Simplify the Left-Hand Side (LHS)

First, handle all multiplication and division from left to right:

855÷15=57
32×5=160

So the LHS becomes:

57-k+160=217-k

Step 2: Simplify the Right-Hand Side (RHS)

Again, work left to right through the multiplications and divisions:

1152÷16=72
72×111=7992
7992÷37=216

Step 3: Set LHS = RHS and solve for k

217-k=216

k=217-216

k=1

Therefore, the value of k = 1.
