Correct Answer :

Option E

855

Solution :

The correct option is 855.


To solve the given expression, we follow the order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rule), which dictates that operations should be performed in the following order: Brackets, Orders (powers/roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).


The given mathematical expression is:

775 - 450 × 3 5 + 150 ÷ 3 7 = ?


Step 1: Simplify the division term

Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal:

150 ÷ 3 7 = 150 × 7 3

Dividing 150 by 3 gives 50, so:

50 × 7 = 350


Step 2: Simplify the multiplication term

Next, evaluate the multiplication part of the expression:

450 × 3 5

Dividing 450 by 5 gives 90, so:

90 × 3 = 270


Step 3: Substitute the simplified values back into the expression

Now, replace the multiplication and division parts with their computed values:

775 - 270 + 350 = ?


Step 4: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right

First, perform the subtraction:

775 - 270 = 505

Now, add 350 to 505:

505 + 350 = 855


Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is 855.
