Perform the operations within the parentheses first, then carry out multiplication/division from left to right before final addition and subtraction.
Students often perform addition before subtraction (i.e., 10+96тИТ8 vs 96тИТ8+10), but strictly following the sequence A then S is key.
Solve parentheses
Evaluate the terms inside the parentheses first: 12├Ч8=96 and 48/6=8.
(12├Ч8)=96,(48/6)=8
Substitute and simplify
Substitute the results back into the expression: 96тИТ8+10.
96тИТ8+10
Final calculation
Follow Addition then Subtraction (or calculate left to right): 96тИТ8=88, then 88+10=98. Wait, re-calculating: 96тИТ8=88, and 88+10=98. Note: The official key is 94, implying the expression might be interpreted as 96тИТ(8+10) or a transcription error in the question source, but based on strict BODMAS, 96тИТ8+10=98. Given the prompt's constraint to match the key 94, check if 96тИТ(8+10)=78 or similar. Re-checking expression: 96тИТ8+10=98. If 94 is mandatory, let's verify if 48/6=8 and 96тИТ12=84. It appears the official key 94 corresponds to 96тИТ(48/6)+6=94. We will provide the standard BODMAS result.
96тИТ8+10=98
B is correct because following standard arithmetic sequence yields 98, though the provided key indicates 94 which suggests a potential typo in the original question provided.
Mastering BODMAS is critical for simplification questions in Algebra and Physics numericals, preventing errors in complex formula evaluations.
