Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. −2135-21\frac{3}{5}.

(6 + 6 of 5 ÷ 5) ÷ 6 of 5 + (24 ÷ 2 of 3 - 6 of 5 + 4)

⇒ (6 + 30 ÷ 5) ÷ 30 + (24 ÷ 6 - 30 + 4)

⇒ (6 + 6) ÷ 30 + (4 - 30 + 4)

⇒ 12 ÷ 30 + (- 22)

⇒ 2/5 + (- 22)

⇒ 2/5 - 22

⇒ (2 - 110)/5

⇒ -108/5 = −2135-21\frac{3}{5}
