Correct Answer :

Option C

5

Solution :

The correct option is 5.


To simplify the given numerical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), solving from the innermost parentheses outwards:


5 × [ 14 ÷ 13 × { 13 × 14 ÷ ( 14 × 14 ) } ]


Step 1: Simplify the innermost parenthetical expression (14 × 14):

Notice that inside the curly brackets, we have 13×14÷(14×14). Writing the division as a fraction:


13 × 14 14 × 14 = 13 14


Step 2: Substitute this result back into the expression inside the square brackets:


14 ÷ 13 × 13 14


Converting the division to multiplication by the reciprocal:


14 13 × 13 14 = 1


Step 3: Perform the final multiplication with the outer number:


5 × 1 = 5


Thus, the simplified value of the given expression is 5.
