Correct Answer :

Option A

128

Solution :

The correct answer is 128.

To simplify the given arithmetic expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS): Brackets, Orders/Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

The given expression is:

84-42+66-(28+22)+35×2

Step 1: Simplify the terms inside the parentheses (bracket).
Calculate the sum inside the bracket:

28+22=50

Step 2: Perform the multiplication.
Multiply the numbers:

35×2=70

Step 3: Substitute these simplified values back into the expression.
The expression becomes:

84-42+66-50+70

Step 4: Perform addition and subtraction sequentially from left to right.

First, subtract 42 from 84:
84-42=42

Next, add 66 to 42:
42+66=108

Then, subtract 50 from 108:
108-50=58

Finally, add 70 to 58:
58+70=128

Thus, the final simplified value of the given expression is 128.
