Question : Find the value of $k$, if $13 - [10 - \{16 + 8 \div(k - 2)\} + 2] = 20$
Option 1: $\frac{14}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{31}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{40}{13}$
Option 4: $\frac{23}{13}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{14}{3}$
Solution : $13-[10-\{16+8 \div(k-2)\}+2] = 20$ ⇒ $13-[10-{16-\frac{8}{k-2}}+2] = 20$ ⇒ $13-[10-\{\frac{16k-32+8}{k-2}\}+2] = 20$ ⇒ $13-[\frac{10k-20-16k+32-8+2k-4}{k-2}]=20$ ⇒ $13-[\frac{-4k}{k–2}] = 20$ ⇒ $13+\frac{4k}{k–2} = 20$ ⇒ $13k-26+4k = 20k-40$ ⇒ $3k = 14$ ⇒ $k = \frac{14}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{14}{3}$.
