Correct Answer :

Option B

9

Solution :

The correct answer is 9.

To find the value of the given expression, we follow the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS rule), which dictates that we simplify expressions in the following order: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

The given expression is:

[ 9 + 3 2 × { ( 4 ÷ 1 4 ) 4 } + 81 ÷ 9 + 81 ÷ 9 + 3 9 ] + 9

Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses.
We first calculate the division inside the round parentheses:
4 ÷ 1 4 = 4 × 4 = 16

Substituting this back, the expression inside the curly braces becomes:
{ 16 4 } = 12

Now, substitute this value back into the main expression:
[ 9 + 3 2 × 12 + 81 ÷ 9 + 81 ÷ 9 + 3 9 ] + 9

Step 2: Perform multiplication and division inside the square brackets.
Let us calculate the multiplication and division terms:
2 × 12 = 24
81 ÷ 9 = 9
81 ÷ 9 = 9

Substituting these values back into the expression:
[ 9 + 3 24 + 9 + 9 + 3 9 ] + 9

Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction inside the square brackets.
Let us evaluate the terms inside the square brackets from left to right:
9 + 3 = 12
12 24 = - 12
- 12 + 9 = - 3
- 3 + 9 = 6
6 + 3 = 9
9 9 = 0

Thus, the value inside the square brackets is 0.

Step 4: Final calculation.
Now we add the final term outside the brackets:
0 + 9 = 9

Therefore, the final value of the expression is 9.
