Correct answer
53
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged
Given Equation: 39 − 15 ÷ 3 + 124 × 4
After interchanging: 39 + 15 × 3 − 124 ÷ 4, using the BODMAS rule:
= 39 + 15 × 3 − 124 ÷ 4
= 39 + 15 × 3 − 31
= 39 + 45 − 31
= 84 − 31
= 53
Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"
