Value of \(23-5 \times 17 + 85 \div 17 + 120\)

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
63

To solve the expression \(23 - 5 \times 17 + 85 \div 17 + 120\), we will use the BODMAS rule. BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Let's work through the expression step-by-step:

  1. Simplify the division: \(85 \div 17 = 5\).
  2. Substitute the result back into the expression: \(23 - 5 \times 17 + 5 + 120\).
  3. Simplify the multiplication: \(5 \times 17 = 85\).
  4. Substitute the result back into the expression: \(23 - 85 + 5 + 120\).
  5. Perform the subtraction: \(23 - 85 = -62\).
  6. Substitute the result back into the expression: \(-62 + 5 + 120\).
  7. Perform the addition: \(-62 + 5 = -57\).
  8. Perform the final addition: \(-57 + 120 = 63\).

Thus, the value of the expression \(23 - 5 \times 17 + 85 \div 17 + 120\) is \(63\), which matches the correct answer.
