Question

Read the clues to identify how far is the recycling plant from the city.

• A. 1816 miles
• B. 1804 miles
• C. 1814 miles
• D. 1853 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1804 miles

To identify the distance between the recycling plant and the city, we have to find out the digits in tens and ones places with the help of the clues given in the question.


According to the first given clue, let us divide the digit at hundreds place by 2 to identify the digit at ones place.


Digit at hundreds place = 8
Hence, the digit at ones place is:
8 $÷$ 2 = 4

Now, according to the second given clue, let us subtract the digit at thousands place by 1 to identify the tens place.


Digit at thousands place = 1
Hence, the digit at the tens place is:
1 - 1 = 0

Now, combining both the clues together, we get,


Hence, the distance of the recycling plant from the city is 1804 miles.
