“Can you solve today’s easy quiz? Solve for A?” reads the caption written alongside the brain teaser shared on X handle @ezdailyquiz. According to the puzzle, if 4*5/A*5+1=51, then what is the value of A?

Take a look at the brain teaser here:

An individual claimed, “2. This is how: 4 x 5 / 2 x 5 + 1 = 20 / 2 x 5 + 1= 10 x 5 + 1 + 50 + 1 = 51. The answer, therefore, is 2.”

“4×5÷2×5+1=5. Then: ((4×5)÷2)×5)+1= (20÷2)×5+1)= (10×5)+1= 50+1=51,” wrote another.

A third commented, “20/Ax5+1=51. 100/A=51-1. A=100/50=2.”

Many in the comments section unanimously agree that ‘2’ is the correct answer to this brain teaser.
