Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. -13.

[25+12÷3−[\sqrt25+12 ÷3-{20+(1620+(16  of 8÷16)−(54÷188 ÷16)-(54 ÷ 18 of 12\frac{1}{2})}]

Applying BODMAS

⇒ [25+12÷3−[\sqrt25+12 ÷3-{20+(12820+(128 ÷16)−(54÷9 ÷16)-(54 ÷ 9)}]

⇒ [5+4−[5+4-{20+(820+(8)−(6)-(6)}]

⇒ [5+4−[5+4-{2222}]

⇒ [9−22]=−13[9-22] = -13
