What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the given questions ?
`42xx2^2-sqrt((625))-132=143/?`

Options

A. 7
B. 11
C. 9
D. 13

Answer

To solve the equation \( 42 \times 2^2 - \sqrt{625} - 132 = \frac{143}{?} \), we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS).

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Calculate \( 2^2 \)**:
\[ 2^2 = 4 \]
**Hint**: Remember that squaring a number means multiplying it by itself.

2. **Multiply \( 42 \) by \( 4 \)**:
\[ 42 \times 4 = 168 \]
**Hint**: Multiplication comes before subtraction in the order of operations.

3. **Calculate \( \sqrt{625} \)**:
\[ \sqrt{625} = 25 \]
**Hint**: The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number.

4. **Substitute back into the equation**:
\[ 168 - 25 - 132 = \frac{143}{?} \]

5. **Perform the subtraction**:
- First, subtract \( 25 \) from \( 168 \):
\[ 168 - 25 = 143 \]
- Now subtract \( 132 \):
\[ 143 - 132 = 11 \]
**Hint**: Perform the operations from left to right.

6. **Set the equation**:
\[ 11 = \frac{143}{?} \]

7. **Cross-multiply to solve for the question mark**:
\[ 11 \times ? = 143 \]

8. **Divide \( 143 \) by \( 11 \)**:
\[ ? = \frac{143}{11} = 13 \]
**Hint**: To find the value of the unknown, isolate it by performing the inverse operation.

### Final Answer:
The value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is **13**.
