Correct Answer :

Option E

-120

Solution :

To find the value that comes in place of the question mark (?), we can set up the given mathematical expression as an equation and solve it step-by-step.

Let the question mark (?) be represented by the variable x. The given equation is:

x+25×40=600+35% of 800

First, let's simplify the multiplication on the left-hand side of the equation:

25×40=1000

Substitute this back into the equation:

x+1000=600+35% of 800

Next, let's calculate the percentage value on the right-hand side. By definition, "35% of 800" can be written as:

35100×800=35×8

Calculating the multiplication:

35×8=280

Now, substitute this value back into our equation:

x+1000=600+280

Simplify the right-hand side by adding the numbers:

600+280=880

This gives us the simplified equation:

x+1000=880

To solve for x, subtract 1000 from both sides of the equation:

x=880-1000

x=-120

Therefore, the value that should replace the question mark is -120.

The correct option is -120.
