  • A. 34
  • B. 35
  • C. 36
  • D. 37

Explanation: Add the fractional parts and whole parts: 25 2/5 + 8 4/5 + 4/5 = 25 + 8 + (2/5 + 4/5 + 4/5) = 33 + 10/5 = 35. Thus option b is correct.

  • B. 2664.642
  • C. 2464.462
  • D. 2466.642

Explanation: Aligning decimal places, 2222.200 + 222.220 + 22.222 = 2466.642. Therefore option d matches the correctly added decimal parts.

Correct answer: 2466.642
  • A. 18
  • B. 22
  • C. 24
  • D. 26

Explanation: First calculate the product: 3/7 × 4/9 × 2/5 × 7560 = 576. Taking the square root gives √576 = 24.

Correct answer: 24
  • A. 1506
  • B. 1606
  • C. 1706
  • D. 1496

Explanation: Subtract from left to right: 7394 - 1236 = 6158, and 6158 - 4652 = 1506. Thus option a matches the calculation.

Correct answer: 1506
