Which one of the following choices does not equal any of the other choices?


(A) 5.43 + 4.63 – 3.24 – 2.32

(B) 5.53 + 4.73 – 3.34 – 2.42

(C) 5.53 + 4.53 – 3.34 – 2.22

(D) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.24 – 2.42

(E) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.14 – 2.22

Visual inspection of answer options,

Let's take the option(A) as reference, we have

A. 5.43 +4.63 – 3.24 – 2.32=X(Say)
B. 5.43+0.10+4.63+0.10-3.24-0.10-2.32-0.10=X
C. 5.43+0.10 + 4.63-0.10 –3.24-0.10 –2.32+0.10=X
D. 5.43 +4.63+0.10–3.24–2.32-0.10=X
E. 5.43 +4.63+0.10-3.24+0.10-2.32+0.10=\(X+0.30\)

All the above options deduced to X except option E.'

Ans. E

(D) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.24 – 2.42

(E) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.14 – 2.22

Got this answer correct in less than a minute
by skimming all the answer choices, we can see that the unit-digit and hundredths are all the same.
So I simplify all the answer choices into these following

(A) 5.43 + 4.63 – 3.24 – 2.32 --> 4+6-2-3 = 5

(B) 5.53 + 4.73 – 3.34 – 2.42 --> 5+7-3-4 = 5

(C) 5.53 + 4.53 – 3.34 – 2.22 --> 5+5-3-2 = 5

(D) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.24 – 2.42 --> 4+7-2-4 = 5

(E) 5.43 + 4.73 – 3.14 – 2.22 --> 4+7-1-2 = 8

So, I chose answer (E)
