Correct Answer :

Option B

2

Solution :

The correct option is 2.

To simplify the given expression, we follow the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS rule), which dictates performing operations in the following order: Parentheses/Brackets, Order/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

The expression to simplify is:
[ { 9 × 81 + ( 142 ÷ 2 ) } + 350 155 + 5 ] ÷ [ ( 25 × 25 ) 125 ]

Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses.
Inside the first main term, simplify the division in the parentheses:
142 ÷ 2 = 71
Inside the second main term, simplify the multiplication in the parentheses:
25 × 25 = 625

Substituting these values back into the expression gives:
[ { 9 × 81 + 71 } + 350 155 + 5 ] ÷ [ 625 125 ]

Step 2: Simplify the curly braces and the right bracket.
First, evaluate the expression inside the curly braces:
{ 9 × 81 + 71 }
Perform the multiplication first:
9 × 81 = 729
Then add 71:
729 + 71 = 800
Next, evaluate the subtraction inside the rightmost bracket:
625 125 = 500

Now, substitute these simplified parts back:
[ 800 + 350 155 + 5 ] ÷ 500

Step 3: Simplify the expression inside the remaining bracket.
Perform the operations inside the left bracket from left to right:
800 + 350 = 1150
1150 155 = 995
995 + 5 = 1000

The expression now simplifies to:
1000 ÷ 500

Step 4: Perform the final division.
1000 ÷ 500 = 2

Thus, the simplified value of the expression is 2.
