Q:
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 9
Explanation: The given expression can be simplified as
6 2 (1 + 2)
The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.
First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.
Now, the expression becomes 6 2 (3)
According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3.
6 ÷ 2 × 3
= 3 × 3
= 9
But not 6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1
Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.
