Simple Mathematics BODMAS MCQ Questions

BODMAS rule in mathematics illustrates the order in which simple arithmetic problems should be solved. BODMAS stands for:

1. B: Brackets
   1. ()
   2. {}
   3. []
2. O: Of (Power, Exponents)
3. D: Division
4. M: Multiplication
5. A: Addition
6. S: Subtraction

Let’s solve some examples to better understand BODMAS rule:

---

5 + 5 X 5 / 5 – 5:

1. 1
2. 5
3. 25

1. 0
2. 5
3. 8
4. 10

Correct answer: 2. 5

Step 1: First solve inside brackets

(50)/5 – 5

Step 2: Division

10 – 5

Step 3: Subtraction

5

1. 1
2. 4
3. 8
4. 16

Correct answer: 4.

Step 1: Sum of numbers inside bracket 8/2*(4)

Step 2: Division 4 * (4)

Step 3: Brackets 16

---

(12/3 + 16/4) of 20

1. 12
2. 24
3. 80
