Finding the Value of the Given Expression
Step 1: Break Down the Number into Place-Value Chunks
The given number is \( 65.7402 \), which breaks down into:
- \( 6A \) contributes “60” → \( 6A = 60 \Rightarrow A = 10 \)
- \( \frac{5}{B} \) contributes “5” → \( \frac{5}{B} = 5 \Rightarrow B = 1 \)
- \( 7C \) contributes “0.7” → \( 7C = 0.7 \Rightarrow C = 0.1 \)
- \( \frac{4}{D} \) contributes “0.04” → \( \frac{4}{D} = 0.04 \Rightarrow D = 100 \)
- \( 2E \) contributes “0.0002” → \( 2E = 0.0002 \Rightarrow E = 0.0001 \)
Step 2: Compute the Desired Expression
The required expression is:
\[ 2A + \frac{B}{5} + 10C + \frac{D}{20} + 4E \]
Substituting the values of \( A, B, C, D, E \):
\[ 2(10) + \frac{1}{5} + 10(0.1) + \frac{100}{20} + 4(0.0001) \]
Computing each term:
- \( 2(10) = 20 \)
- \( \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \)
- \( 10(0.1) = 1 \)
- \( \frac{100}{20} = 5 \)
- \( 4(0.0001) = 0.0004 \)
Step 3: Sum the Values
\[ 20 + 0.2 + 1 + 5 + 0.0004 = 26.2004 \]
Final Answer:
Thus, the correct answer is (B) 26.2004.
