1. **State the problem:** Calculate $\frac{2\text{ lakhs} \times 2\text{ lakhs}}{3\text{ lakhs} + 4\text{ lakhs}}$. 2. **Convert lakhs to numbers:** 1 lakh = 100000, so: - $2\text{ lakhs} = 200000$ - $3\text{ lakhs} = 300000$ - $4\text{ lakhs} = 400000$ 3. **Rewrite the expression:** $$\frac{200000 \times 200000}{300000 + 400000}$$ 4. **Calculate numerator:** $$200000 \times 200000 = 40000000000$$ 5. **Calculate denominator:** $$300000 + 400000 = 700000$$ 6. **Divide numerator by denominator:** $$\frac{40000000000}{700000} = 57142.85714285714$$ 7. **Final answer:** Approximately $57142.86$. This means the value of the expression is about $57142.86$.
