Question

\(\{143 - (9 - 2)\} \div [2 + \{3 \times (-5) \times (-1)\}] = ?\)

This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2018 Question Paper (11-Oct-2018) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

8

Apply the BODMAS order — brackets innermost first, then division and multiplication, then addition and subtraction.

Step 1 — Innermost brackets: (9 − 2) = 7 and (−5) × (−1) = 5, so 3 × 5 = 15.

Step 2 — Curly braces: {143 − 7} = 136 in the numerator, and inside the square bracket 2 + 15 = 17.

Step 3 — Division: 136 ÷ 17 = 8.

Hence, 8 is correct.
