• A. 711
• B. 721
• C. 731
• D. 741

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Solving the Given Expression Step by Step

Step 1: Replace the Symbols with Their Meanings 

Given expression:

\[ (54 * 36 - 9) / 13 + (6 * 17) \]

• Replace * with +: \[ (54 + 36 - 9) / 13 + (6 + 17) \]
• Replace - with /: \[ (54 + 36 / 9) / 13 + (6 + 17) \]
• Replace / with ×: \[ (54 + 36 ÷ 9) × 13 + (6 + 17) \]
• Replace + with -: \[ (54 + 36 ÷ 9) × 13 - (6 + 17) \]

Step 2: Solve the Expression Using BODMAS

1. Perform division: \( 36 \div 9 = 4 \)
2. Add inside parentheses:
   • \( 54 + 4 = 58 \)
   • \( 6 + 17 = 23 \)
3. Perform multiplication:
4. Perform subtraction:

Final Answer:

Thus, the final answer is 731 (Option C).
