Download Solution PDFHere, we use the BODMAS table given below:
Given:
⇒ 3 - 21 + 153 × 17 ÷ 26
As per the given data:
| Symbol | Means |
| + | Subtraction |
| - | Multiplication |
| ÷ | Addition |
| × | Division |
After changing the sign as per the table:
⇒ 3 × 21 - 153 ÷ 17 + 26
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 3 × 21 - 9 + 26
⇒ 63 - 9 + 26
⇒ 89 - 9 = 80
Here, the value of the expression is '80'.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
