Correct Answer :

Option A

1/18

Solution :

To simplify the given expression, we follow the order of operations rules (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Let's evaluate the numerator and the denominator separately.

The given expression is:
13 ÷ { 6 6 ÷ ( 7 9 ) × 8 + 9 } 5 + 5 × 5 ÷ 5 of 5

Step 1: Simplify the Numerator
The numerator is: 13÷{66÷(79)×8+9}
First, simplify the expression inside the innermost parentheses:
79=-2
Substitute this back into the numerator expression:
13÷{66÷(-2)×8+9}

Next, perform operations inside the curly braces. According to the order of operations, division and multiplication are performed from left to right:
1. Division: 6÷(-2)=-3
The expression becomes: 6(-3)×8+9 which is 6+3×8+9
2. Multiplication: 3×8=24
The expression becomes: 6+24+9
3. Addition: 6+24+9=39

Now, substitute this simplified value back into the numerator:
Numerator = 13÷39=1339=13

Step 2: Simplify the Denominator
The denominator is: 5+5×5÷5 of 5
According to BODMAS rules, the "of" operator has higher priority than division and multiplication, and is calculated as multiplication:
1. "of" operation: 5 of 5=5×5=25
The denominator expression becomes: 5+5×5÷25
2. Division: 5÷25=525=15
The expression becomes: 5+5×15
3. Multiplication: 5×15=1
The expression becomes: 5+1
4. Addition: 5+1=6

So, the Denominator = 6.

Step 3: Combine Numerator and Denominator
Substituting the simplified values of the numerator and the denominator back into the main fraction:
Value = Numerator Denominator = 1 / 3 6 = 1 3 × 6 = 1 18

Therefore, the simplified value of the given expression is 1/18.
