Correct Answer :

Option C

9

Solution :

The correct answer is 9.

To simplify the given expression, we follow the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders/'of', Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction). According to this rule, the 'of' operation takes priority over regular division and multiplication.

The given expression is:

20÷5 of 4×8+6÷24 of 3×486÷18×9

Step 1: Simplify the 'of' operations first.

• First 'of' term:
5 of 4=5×4=20
• Second 'of' term:
24 of 3=24×3=72

Substituting these values into the expression gives:

20÷20×8+6÷72×486÷18×9

Step 2: Simplify each term using division and multiplication from left to right.

• First term:
20÷20×8=1×8=8

• Second term:
6÷72×48=672×48=112×48=4

• Third term:
6÷18×9=618×9=13×9=3

Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction.

Combine the results from each part:

8+43=123=9

Thus, the simplified result of the expression is 9.
