Correct Answer :

Option B

15

Solution :

The correct answer is 15.

To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the BODMAS rule, which dictates the order of operations: Brackets, Orders/Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

The given expression is:

52 - [ 18 ÷ 3 + 3 + ( 18 - 11 ) of 4 ]

Step 1: Simplify the innermost parenthetical bracket.

18 - 11 = 7

Substituting this result back into the expression gives:

52 - [ 18 ÷ 3 + 3 + 7 of 4 ]

Step 2: Evaluate the "of" operation.
The operation "of" signifies multiplication and takes precedence over standard division and addition within brackets.

7 of 4 = 7 × 4 = 28

Updating the expression inside the brackets:

52 - [ 18 ÷ 3 + 3 + 28 ]

Step 3: Perform division inside the square brackets.

18 ÷ 3 = 6

Updating the expression:

52 - [ 6 + 3 + 28 ]

Step 4: Perform addition inside the square brackets.

6 + 3 + 28 = 37

Updating the expression:

52 - 37

Step 5: Perform final subtraction.

52 - 37 = 15

Thus, the final value is equal to 15.
