Correct Answer :

Option D

7.0

Solution :

To simplify the given expression, we follow the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which dictates that we perform calculations inside parentheses first, starting from the innermost brackets.

The given expression is:
22.0625 - [15 + 0.25 × (4.78 - 1.5 × 3.02)]

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the innermost parentheses first.
Within the parentheses (4.78 - 1.5 × 3.02), we perform multiplication before subtraction:
1.5 × 3.02 = 4.53

Now, substitute this value back into the parentheses:
4.78 - 4.53 = 0.25

Step 2: Substitute the result from Step 1 back into the main expression.
The expression now becomes:
22.0625 - [15 + 0.25 × 0.25]

Step 3: Simplify the expression inside the square brackets.
First, perform the multiplication:
0.25 × 0.25 = 0.0625

Now, add 15 to this result:
15 + 0.0625 = 15.0625

Step 4: Perform the final subtraction.
Finally, subtract the value inside the square brackets from 22.0625:
22.0625 - 15.0625 = 7.0

Therefore, the simplified value of the expression is 7.0.
