44). ? = (4 × 4 × 4 × 4)2 – (23)2 ÷ 16
= 65536 – 64 ÷ 16 = 65536 – 4 = 65532
Answer: d)
45). 19% of 360 + ? = 45% of 230
Or, 19/100 × 360 + ? = 45/100 × 230
Or, 68.4 + ? = 103.5
Or, ? = 35.1
Answer: e)
46). ? = 49 ÷ 0.7 – 4.9 = 49 ÷ (7/10) – 4.9
= 49 × 10/7 – 4.9 = 70 – 4.9 = 65.1
Answer: b)
47). ? = (√576 + √1225+√289) × √5625)
= (24 + 35 + 17) × 75 = 76 × 75 = 5700

48). ? = 9898 + 1773 – 1882 × 3 ÷ 2

= 9898 + 1773 – 941 × 3
= 11671 – 2823 = 8848
Answer: c)
49). ? = 3√729 × 3√15625 × √3969 ÷ 21
= 9 × 25 ×63 ÷ 21 = 675
Answer: e)
50). ? = √7744 × √? = 15488
Or, 88 × √? = 15488
Or, √? = 15488/88 = 176
