The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \((6/7 + (7 \frac{3}{4} - 6 \frac{1}{2}) / (7/3 \times 9))\) of ₹ 42, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions Convert \(7 \frac{3}{4}\) and \(6 \frac{1}{2}\) into improper fractions: - \(7 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{28 + 3}{4} = \frac{31}{4}\) - \(6 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{12 + 1}{2} = \frac{13}{2}\) ### Step 2: Substitute Back into the Expression Now substitute these values back into the expression: \[ (6/7 + (\frac{31}{4} - \frac{13}{2}) / (7/3 \times 9)) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Fraction in the Parentheses Next, we need to simplify \(\frac{31}{4} - \frac{13}{2}\): - To subtract, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 4 and 2 is 4. - Convert \(\frac{13}{2}\) to have a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{13}{2} = \frac{13 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{26}{4} \] - Now perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{31}{4} - \frac{26}{4} = \frac{31 - 26}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Denominator Now calculate the denominator \(7/3 \times 9\): \[ \frac{7}{3} \times 9 = \frac{7 \times 9}{3} = \frac{63}{3} = 21 \] ### Step 5: Substitute Back into the Expression Now substitute back into the expression: \[ (6/7 + \frac{5/4}{21}) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Fraction Now simplify \(\frac{5/4}{21}\): \[ \frac{5/4}{21} = \frac{5}{4 \times 21} = \frac{5}{84} \] ### Step 7: Add the Fractions Now add \(6/7\) and \(5/84\): - Find a common denominator for \(7\) and \(84\), which is \(84\): \[ 6/7 = \frac{6 \times 12}{7 \times 12} = \frac{72}{84} \] - Now add: \[ \frac{72}{84} + \frac{5}{84} = \frac{72 + 5}{84} = \frac{77}{84} \] ### Step 8: Multiply by ₹ 42 Now multiply \(\frac{77}{84}\) by ₹ 42: \[ \frac{77}{84} \times 42 = \frac{77 \times 42}{84} \] - Simplifying: \[ \frac{77 \times 42}{84} = \frac{77 \times 1}{2} = \frac{77}{2} = 38.5 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is ₹ 38.5.
