Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
According to the given information:
| Letter | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sign | ÷ | × | + | − |
Given Expression: 1 D 40 A 7 B 7 C 46 = ?
Replacing the letters with signs and using the BODMAS rule:
= 1 − 40 ÷ 7 × 7 + 46
= 1 − 40 + 46
= 1 + 46 − 40
= 47 − 40
= 7
Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
