Find the value of the following expression
2 × 8 ÷ 4 - 5 of 3 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 - 6 of 3 + 5
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. -20.
According to the given question,
2 × 8 ÷ 4 - 5 of 3 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 - 6 of 3 + 5
Applying the rule of BODMAS,
2 × 8 ÷ 4 - 5 of 3 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 - 6 of 3 + 5
⇒ 2 × 8 ÷ 4 - 15 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 - 18 + 5
⇒ 2 × 2 - 15 + 2 × 2 - 18 + 5
⇒ 4 - 15 + 4 - 18 + 5
⇒ 13 - 33 = -20
Hence the required answer is -20.
