Correct Answer :

Option A

155

Solution :

The correct answer is 155.

To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS): Brackets/Parentheses, Orders/Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Given expression:

84-31+42+(15+25)×3-60

Step 1: Simplify the terms inside the parentheses (brackets).

15+25=40

Substituting this back into the expression gives:

84-31+42+40×3-60

Step 2: Perform the multiplication operation.

40×3=120

Substituting this product into the expression gives:

84-31+42+120-60

Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction sequentially from left to right.

First operation (84-31):

84-31=53

Second operation (53+42):

53+42=95

Third operation (95+120):

95+120=215

Final operation (215-60):

215-60=155

Thus, the final calculated value of the expression is 155.
