Correct Answer :

Option D

−358

Solution :

The correct option is −358.

To simplify the given mathematical expression, we must follow the order of operations, often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS (Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). Let's write down the expression:
110 - 42 × ( 5 + 6 ) - 6

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses first.
We perform the addition inside the parentheses:
5 + 6 = 11 Now substitute this value back into the expression:
110 - 42 × 11 - 6

Step 2: Perform the multiplication.
Next, we calculate the multiplication of 42 and 11:
42 × 11 = 462 Substitute this result back into the expression:
110 - 462 - 6

Step 3: Perform subtraction from left to right.
First, subtract 462 from 110:
110 - 462 = - 352 Now, subtract the remaining 6 from this result:
- 352 - 6 = - 358

Thus, the final simplified value of the expression is −358.
