Correct Answer :

Option B

21 3 5

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 2: -2135.

We need to simplify:

(6+6 of 5÷5)÷6 of 5+(24÷2 of 3-6 of 5+4)

We follow the BODMAS rule. The keyword "of" means multiplication and is applied before Division (÷) in the order of operations. Let us work through this in two parts.


Part 1: Simplify the first bracket and its division

Focus on: (6+6 of 5÷5)÷6 of 5

Step 1: Inside the bracket, handle "of" first:
6 of 5 = 6 × 5 = 30

Step 2: Inside the bracket, now do the division:
30 ÷ 5 = 6

Step 3: Complete the bracket addition:
6 + 6 = 12

Step 4: Now handle "6 of 5" outside the bracket (this is the divisor):
6 of 5 = 6 × 5 = 30

Step 5: Divide the bracket result by 30:
12 ÷ 30 = 1230=25


Part 2: Simplify the second bracket

Focus on: (24÷2 of 3-6 of 5+4)

Step 6: Handle all "of" operations first:
2 of 3 = 2 × 3 = 6
6 of 5 = 6 × 5 = 30

Step 7: Now do the division:
24 ÷ 6 = 4

Step 8: The bracket becomes:
4 - 30 + 4 = 8 - 30 = -22


Final Step: Combine both parts

25+(-22)=25-22

Converting to a mixed number:

25-1105=2-1105=-1085=-2135

Therefore, the simplified value of the expression is:

-2135
