11. Answer: B
6. Answer: A
[(954÷9 – 42)1/2 *39 + 145] + ?2 =236+√(225)
(0*32)+12=1
*{282*(3/47)}
(1*33)+22=31
[(106 – 42)1/2 *39 + 145] + ?2 =236+15*{6*3}
(31*32)+32=288
[(64)1/2 *39 + 145] + ?2 =236+15*18
(288*33)+42=7792
[8 *39 + 145] + ?2 =236+270
(7792*32)+52=70153
[312+145] + ?2=506
457 +?2=506
7. Answer: B
?2=506 – 457
(11*2)+11=33
?2=49
(33*4)+13=145
?=7
