Q.1 Easy Mathematics
What is 15% of 240?
A 36
B 40
C 45
D 48
Correct Answer:  A. 36
Explanation:

To find a percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage expressed as a decimal: \(15\% \text{ of } 240 = 0.15 \times 240\).

Step 1: Convert percentage to decimal

Convert 15% to its decimal form:

\[15\% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15\]
Step 2: Multiply by the base number
\[0.15 \times 240 = 36\]

Alternatively, using fractions:

\[\frac{15}{100} \times 240 = \frac{15 \times 240}{100} = \frac{3600}{100} = 36\]

Answer: 36 (Option A)

Q.4 Easy Mathematics
Simplify: 8 + 12 ÷ 4 - 2 × 3
A 5
B 8
C 11
D 14
Correct Answer:  A. 5
Explanation:

To simplify this expression, we apply the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS): Brackets, Orders, Division & Multiplication (left to right), then Addition & Subtraction (left to right).

Step 1: Perform Division

Division comes before addition and subtraction, so evaluate \(12 \div 4\) first.

\[12 \div 4 = 3\]

The expression becomes:

\[8 + 3 - 2 \times 3\]

Step 2: Perform Multiplication

Next, evaluate \(2 \times 3\).

\[2 \times 3 = 6\]

The expression becomes:

\[8 + 3 - 6\]

Step 3: Perform Addition and Subtraction (Left to Right)

Now evaluate from left to right.

\[8 + 3 = 11\]

Step 4: Final Subtraction

\[11 - 6 = 5\]

Answer: \(5\) (Option A)
