I'm afraid and the answers are wrong.

if it is asking for the clockwise torque only it should be the one you get using $$F=25N$$ applied at $$5m$$ of the pivot, so it gives: $$25N\times 5m =125Nm$$

Now I understand, Thanks @Greg_D :)) I assumed the question was "What is the clockwise NET torque on the following lever?" (ie: counting clockwise as positive) Now, @LmL, if you have understood Greg's answer, you should be able to answer these new questions: - What is the anti-clockwise torque on the lever? - What is the net torque on the lever?
