Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 45

Understanding Application
We will use the concept of BODMAS to solve the given problem.

In the given question we will first solve the bracket.

⇒ 45 – 5 of (6.3 ÷ 9) + 7 × 0.5

⇒ 45 – 5 of 0.7 + 7 × 0.5

Now after B we will prefer O for 'of'.

⇒ 45 – 3.5 + 7 × 0.5

There is no division so we will proceed to multiplication.

⇒ 45 – 3.5 + 3.5

⇒ 45
