@Vikas.
Because its already mentioned in the question that 2994/14.5 = 172.
After calculations when we get this value. We substitute it to 172.

Hai, here is simple method.
100 should be multiplied with 29.94 to become - 2994.
10 should be multiplied with 1.45 to become - 14.5.
Hence (29.94/1.45)*(100/10) = 2994/14.5.
We know that 2994/14.5 = 172.
So (29.94/1.45)*(100/10) = 172.
When we transfer (100/10) to right side it becomes (10/100).
So (29.94/1.12) = 172 (10/100).
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 172 (1/10).
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 172/10.
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 17.2.
100 should be multiplied with 29.94 to become - 2994.
10 should be multiplied with 1.45 to become - 14.5.
Hence (29.94/1.45)*(100/10) = 2994/14.5.
We know that 2994/14.5 = 172.
So (29.94/1.45)*(100/10) = 172.
When we transfer (100/10) to right side it becomes (10/100).
So (29.94/1.12) = 172 (10/100).
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 172 (1/10).
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 172/10.
i.e, (29.94/1.12) = 17.2.

2994 ÷ 14.5=206.48 and 29.94 ÷ 1.45 = 20.6 above the four options are not correct.
If the answer is 2994 ÷ 14.5 = 172 without any calculation based on the decimal value the answer is 17.2 is correct otherwise, the proper calculation the answer is not correct.
