Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFHere, we use the BODMAS table given below:
Given:
⇒ 23 − 31 + 135 × 15 ÷ 16
As per the given data:
| Symbol | Means |
| + | Subtraction (-) |
| - | Multiplication (×) |
| ÷ | Addition (+) |
| × | Division (÷) |
After putting the sign as per the table:
⇒ 23 × 31 - 135 ÷ 15 + 16
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 23 × 31 - 9 + 16
⇒ 713 - 9 + 16
⇒ 729 - 9 = 720
⇒ '23 × 31 - 135 ÷ 15 + 16 = 720'
The value of the equation is '720'.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".
