Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 19.
[18 - 3 × {3 - 3 × (3 ÷ - 3) + 3 ÷ + 3} - 4 × 2]
⇒ [18 - 3 × {3 - 3 × (3 × 3 - 3) + 3 × 3 + 3} - 8]
⇒ [18 - 3 × {3 - 3 × (9 - 3) + 9 + 3} - 8]
⇒ [18 - 3 × {3 - 3 × 6 + 9 + 3} - 8]
⇒ [18 - 3 × {3 - 18 + 9 + 3} - 8]
⇒ [18 - 3 × {15 - 18} - 8]
⇒ [18 - 3 × - 3 - 8]
⇒ [18 + 9 - 8}]
⇒ 27 - 8 = 19
