B.20.46
.
D
C.21.66
22.35
.
D

Answer: Option D
Explanation:

35 + 25 x 5 = 17.88
35 + 55 = 17.88
85 = 17.88
5 = 2.235
80 + 65 = 16 x 5 + 65
= 45 + 65
= 105 = (10 x 2.235) = 22.35
6. If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is:

B.0.2078
.
D
C.1.1039
2.1039
.
C

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a = (1)2 + (2a)2 - 2 x 1 x 2a + 3a
= (1 - 2a)2 + 3a
= (1 - 2a) + 3a
= (1 + a)
= (1 + 0.1039)
= 1.1039
