Correct Answer :

Option B

7

Solution :

Correct Option: 7

To find the value of the given expression, we follow the order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rules):

1. Brackets / Parentheses
2. Orders / Exponents
3. Division and Multiplication (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

The given mathematical expression is:

24÷(38×3+27)+3

Step 1: Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses

Inside the parentheses (38×3+27), we perform multiplication first:

8×3=24

Substitute this value back into the parentheses:

324+27

Now, perform addition and subtraction from left to right:

324=21

21+27=6

So, the expression inside the parentheses simplifies to 6.

Step 2: Perform the division

Substitute 6 back into the main expression:

24÷6+3

Dividing 24 by 6 gives:

24÷6=4

Step 3: Perform the addition

Finally, add 3 to the result:

4+3=7

Therefore, the value of the expression is 7.
