Correct Answer :

Option E

60

Solution :

To find the value that replaces the question mark (?), we can set up the given mathematical statement as an equation. Let the unknown value be represented by x:

75% of x=400×5+25

We can solve this step-by-step by simplifying the right-hand side first and then solving for x.

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the square root
Following the standard order of operations, we first perform the multiplication inside the square root, and then the addition:
400×5=2000

Now, add 25 to the result:
2000+25=2025

Step 2: Calculate the square root
Now we find the square root of 2025:
2025=45
(Since 45×45=2025)

Step 3: Solve the simplified equation
Now substitute this back into our original equation:
75% of x=45

Convert the percentage to a fraction to make it easier to solve. We know that:
75%=75100=34

Now rewrite the equation:
34×x=45

To isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by 43:
x=45×43

x=15×4

x=60

Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 60.
