Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2.
Using the rule of BODMAS,
(17 + 15) ÷ 2 – 11 + 16 × 4 – 28 + 13 (−16 + 13)
⇒ 32 ÷ 2 – 11 + 16 × 4 – 28 + 13 (-3)
⇒ 32 ÷ 2 – 11 + 16 × 4 – 28 - 39
⇒ 16 – 11 + 16 × 4 – 28 - 39
⇒ 16 – 11 + 64 – 28 - 39
⇒ 80 - 78 = 2
Hence the required answer is 2.
