Correct Answer :

Option C

116

Solution :

The correct answer is 116.

To simplify the given numerical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rule: Brackets, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction). Note that the operation 'of' represents multiplication and takes precedence over regular division and multiplication.

The given expression is:

315 of 234÷113+(215÷125 of 137213)

Step 1: Convert all mixed fractions into improper fractions.
315=165
234=114
215=115
125=75
137=107
213=73

Step 2: Simplify the expression outside the bracket.
First, evaluate the 'of' operation:
165 of 114=165×114=445
Next, divide this result by 113:
445÷113=445×311=125

Step 3: Simplify the expression inside the bracket.
The expression inside the bracket is:
(115÷75 of 10773)
First, evaluate the 'of' operation inside the bracket:
75 of 107=75×107=2
Next, perform the division:
115÷2=1110
Now perform the subtraction:
111073=337030=3730

Step 4: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
125+(3730)=1253730
Convert to a common denominator of 30:
723730=3530=76=116

Thus, the final simplified answer is 116.
