Correct option is C
Let's solve step by step, following the order of operations (BODMAS rule).
Given expression:
18 – [6 – {4 – (8 + 3)}]
Step 1: Solve inside the parentheses
8 + 3 = 11
Now the expression becomes:18 – [6 – {4 – 11}]
Step 2: Solve inside the curly brackets
4 – 11 = -7
Now the expression becomes:18 – [6 – (-7)]
Step 3: Simplify inside the square brackets
Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding:6 + 7 = 13
Now the expression becomes:18 – 13
Step 4: Final subtraction
18 – 13 = 5
Thus, the correct answer is (C) 5.
