Correct option is C
Given: Expression: [72 - 12 ÷ 3 - 2] + (18 - 6) ÷ 4 - (6 ÷ 2 + 7 × 4)
Concept: Standard order of operations (BODMAS).
Solution:
Solve the expression step-by-step by evaluating the brackets first.
First bracket: [72 - (12 ÷ 3) - 2] = [72 - 4 - 2] = 66
Second bracket group: (18 - 6) ÷ 4 = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Third bracket: (6 ÷ 2) + (7 × 4) = 3 + 28 = 31
Now combine the evaluated components according to the original signs:
Expression = 66 + 3 - 31
Expression = 69 - 31 = 38
Final Answer: 38
So the correct answer is (c)
