Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Electronic spreadsheets follow the standard mathematical order of operations, commonly known as BODMAS.
The order of priority for operations is:
1. Brackets ( ) - Highest Priority
- Operations inside brackets are performed first
2. Division and Multiplication - Second Priority
- These operations have equal priority
- Performed from left to right when they appear together
3. Addition (+) and Subtraction (-) - Lowest Priority
- These operations have equal priority
- Performed from left to right when they appear together
From the choices given:
- (C) Brackets → First priority
- (A) Multiplication → Second priority (along with division)
- (D) Division → Second priority (along with multiplication)
- (B) Addition → Last priority
