2.	Which one of the five choices makes the best comparison? PEACH is to HCAEP as 46251 is to:
	25641 26451 12654 51462 15264

3. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = answer

you number 2 answer is; 15264 and the other addition, substraction and multiplication answer is 0.

1. Ans=21
2. Ans=15264
3. Ans=0

I agree with the first two answers, but the last is certainly not zero. Apply BODMAS, then u'd see that the x0 only affects the last 1 in the listing. So for the answer, simply count the number of the remaining 1s (leaving out the last 1 closest to the 0), that will give you the answer.


Cheers.

dats right brof

The last answer is 4. You guys forgot,or you did not see there is a minus sign btw the 10th digit 0f '1' and the 11th
10-6=4. 1x0=0.

Yes of course, the 3rd is NOT zero because the 0 affects only the last 1 which is closest to it... BODMAS gives you

10 - 1 + 5 + 0 which is 14

I also made the same mistake in my 1st calculation to get a wrong ans of 4.

But free your mind & look at it this way using the elementary BODMAS rule:

The last 1 tks care of 0 to account for M (1x0=0)

A is accounted for next b4 S in bodMAS

So it reduces to: 10 - 1 + 5

Which eva way you simplify from, you'll get 14.

10 + (-1 + 5) = 10 + 4 = 14

Or

(10 - 1) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14

Or

(10 + 5) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14
