RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
$-42$

Expression Evaluation Steps

To find the value of the expression $\left(\frac{6+3}{3}\right) - 5 \times (4+5)$, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

1. Evaluate Parentheses

  • First, calculate the expressions inside the parentheses:
    • $(6+3) = 9$
    • $(4+5) = 9$
  • The expression now becomes: $\left(\frac{9}{3}\right) - 5 \times 9$.

2. Perform Division

  • Next, perform the division within the remaining parentheses:
    • $\frac{9}{3} = 3$
  • The expression simplifies to: $3 - 5 \times 9$.

3. Perform Multiplication

  • Now, perform the multiplication:
    • $5 \times 9 = 45$
  • The expression becomes: $3 - 45$.

4. Perform Subtraction

  • Finally, perform the subtraction:
    • $3 - 45 = -42$

Therefore, the value of the expression is -42.
