Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 

Explanation:

[3/5 × 1 7/8 ÷ 1 1/3 of 3/16 - (3 1/5 ÷ 4 1/2 of 5 1/3) × 2 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/8 ÷ 1/4]

By BODMAS rule,

((3/5) × (15/8) ÷ (4/3)) of ((3/16)) - ├ ( (16/5) ÷ (9/2) of (16/3) ├ ) ×

(5/2) + (1/2) + (1/8) ÷ (1/4)

((3/5) × (15/8)) ÷ ((1/4) - ((16/5) ÷ 24) ÷ (5/2) + (1/2) + (1/8)) × (4/1)

((3/5) × (15/8)) × 4 - ((16/5) × (1/24)) × ((5/2) + (1/2) + (1/2))

(3/5) × (15/2) - (2/15) × (5/2) + (1/2) + (1/2)

(9/2) - (1/3) + (1/4) = (53/12) =
