Hence, option B is correct.

35. ? = 52.24 + 62.18 + 84.48 + 12.21

? = 211.11

Hence, option C is correct.

36. (1.6)2 ÷ (0.8)2 = [(2.4)2 ÷ (0.4)2] – ?

1.6 × 1.6 2.4 × 2.4

= = –?
0.8 × 0.8 0.4 × 0.4

Or, 4 = 36 – ?

or, ? = 36 – 4 = 32

Hence, option B is correct.

37. 8√8 × 83 ÷ 8 – 5/2 = 2?

or, 8 × 81/2 × 83 ÷ 8-5/2 = 2?

or, 81+1/2+3+5/2 = 2?

or, 23(1+1/2+3+5/2) = 2?

As the bases are equal, we can compare indices,

1 5 3(2 + 1 + 6 + 5) 3(14)
∴ ? = 3 (1 + +3+ )= =
2 2 2 2

or, ? = 3 × 7 = 21

Hence, option D is correct.

38. (0.6)2 × 5 = ? – 348 ÷ 24

or, 0.36 × 5 = ? – 14.5

or, ? = 14.5 + 1.8 = 16.3

Hence, option A is correct.

39. ?% of (584.4 – 244.2) = (9)2 + 21

? × 340
Or, = 81 + 21 = 102
100

102 × 100
∴ ?= = 30
340

Hence, option C is correct.

40. √2? = (82 × 52) ÷ (200√2)

64 × 25 8 8 √2
= = = × = 4√2
(200√2) √2 √2 √2

√2? = √25

∴ ?=5

Hence, option C is correct.

41. 86 – (86)2 + 86 × (86 + 86 ÷ 0.86) =?

? = 86 – (86)2 + 86 × (86 + 100)

? = 86 – (86)2 + 86 × 186

? = 86 (1 – 86 + 186)

? = 86 (101)

? = 8686

Hence, option C is correct.

42. ? = [(7)2.7 × (343)1.5]1/3

? = (7)2.7×(1/3) × (7)3×1.5×(1/3)

? = (7)2.7×(1/3) × (7)3×1.5×(1/3)

? = 70.9 × 71.5 = 72.4

Hence, option B is correct.

43.
262144 32768
× +? = 5020.8
4096 512

86 85
∴ × +? = 5020.8
84 83

∴ 84 +? = 5020.8

∴ ? = 5020.8 – 4096 = 924.8

Hence, option A is correct.

44. (49)16 ÷ (343)8 × (2401)3 × 49 = 7?

∴ (72)16 ÷ (73)8 × (74)3 × 72 = 7?

∴ 732 ÷ 724 × 712 × 72 = 7?

∴ 732–24+12+2 = 7?

∴ 722 = 7?

∴ ? = 22

Hence, option C is correct.

45. 6482.1 × 0.02 + 2281.7 –? = 882.321 + 1439.31

∴ 129.642 + 2281.7 –? = 2321.631

∴ 2411.342 –? = 2321.631

∴ ? = 89.711

Hence, option C is correct.

46. 33.33% of 180 + 66.67% of 321 =? of 548

1 2
⇒ of 180 + of 321 =? of 548
3 3

⇒ 60 + 214 =? × 548

⇒ 274 =? × 548

274 1
⇒?= =
548 2

Hence, option B is correct.

47. (0.6)3 × 600 ÷ 6000 of (0.6)2 =?

Applying the BODMAS, we get

? = (0.6)3 × 600 ÷ (6000 × 0.6 × 0.6)

0.6 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 600

?=
6000 × 0.6 × 0.6

6 3 3
?= = =
100 50 50

Hence, option B is correct.

48. 11.11% of 27.27% of 8.33% of 3564 =?

1 3 1
? = × × × 3564 = 9
9 11 12

Hence, option C is correct.

49. 11449 × 6241 – (54)2 = ? + (74)2

⇒ 107 × 79 – 2916 =? + 5476

⇒ 8453 – 2916 – 5476 =?

⇒ 61 =?

⇒ ? = 612 = 3721

Hence, option B is correct.

50. (3√𝟖 + √𝟖) × (8√𝟖 + 7√𝟖) – 98 =?

⇒ [√𝟖 × 4 × √ 𝟖 × 15]– 98

⇒ [8 × 4 × 15] – 98

⇒ 480 – 98 = 382

Hence, option C is correct.
