Simplify : 2×[4−{2−(2−3)−(2+3)}−1]−5×[−3−(3−2)]2 \times [4 - \{2 - (2-3) - (2+3)\} - 1] - 5 \times [-3 - (3-2)]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Compute innermost brackets first. (2−3)=−1(2-3)=-1, (2+3)=5(2+3)=5. Then {2−(−1)−5}=−2\{2-(-1)-5\} = -2. Next [4−(−2)−1]=5[4-(-2)-1] = 5, so 2×5=102 \times 5 = 10. For the second part, (3−2)=1(3-2)=1, [−3−1]=−4[-3-1]=-4, so 5×(−4)=−205 \times (-4) = -20. Final: 10−(−20)=3010 - (-20) = 30.
