Question

Select the first operation that is to be done to solve the following:
$15-(6+6\times 6)÷(9+5)$

• A. $6+6\times 6$
• B. $15-6$
• C. $9+5$
• D. $6÷9$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A $6+6\times 6$
C $9+5$

As we know, the order of operation of BODMAS is as follows:

Brackets

Of

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction

So, in this question, we simultaneously solve the two brackets. Hence, the correct answers would be $6+6\times 6$ and $9+5$.

Once the two brackets are solved, we can go ahead to solve division, followed by subtraction.
