Correct Answer :

Option D

19

Solution :

The correct answer is 19.

To evaluate the given mathematical expression, we follow the BODMAS / PEMDAS rule (Order of Operations):

1. Brackets / Parentheses (first innermost parentheses ( ), then curly braces { }, and lastly square brackets [ ])
2. Orders / Exponents
3. Division and Multiplication (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

The expression to simplify is:

[183×{33×(3÷133)+3÷13+3}4×2]

Step 1: Evaluate the fraction divisions inside the expression.

We know that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal:

3÷13=3×3=9

Step 2: Simplify inside the inner round brackets ( ).

Substitute 3÷13=9 into (3÷133):

(93)=6

Step 3: Simplify inside the curly braces { }.

Replace the inner parentheses term with 6 and the other division term with 9 in the curly braces:

{33×6+9+3}

Perform multiplication first:

3×6=18

So the expression inside the curly braces becomes:

{318+9+3}

Evaluating left to right:

318=15

15+9=6

6+3=3

Step 4: Substitute back into the square brackets [ ].

Now, replace the curly braces portion with -3:

[183×(3)4×2]

Step 5: Perform multiplications inside the square brackets.

3×(3)=9

4×2=8

Substituting these products back into the brackets:

[18(9)8]

Step 6: Simplify the final additions and subtractions.

Since subtracting a negative number is equal to adding its positive counterpart:

18(9)=18+9=27

Finally, subtract 8:

278=19

Thus, the final value of the expression is 19.
