SSC MTS 9 Feb 2026 Shift 3 Paper

Concept:Use the BODMAS rule: first solve Brackets, then Of (multiplication), then Division, Multiplication, and finally Addition and Subtraction from left to right.Explanation:Start with the expression: $72+28-(22\div 2)+33\times 1+19\text{ of }1-16$.Solve the bracket first: $22\div 2 = 11$ → $72+28-11+33\times 1+19\text{ of }1-16$.Next, handle 'Of': $19\text{ of }1 = 19\times 1 = 19$ → $72+28-11+33\times 1+19-16$.Then multiplication: $33\times 1 = 33$ → $72+28-11+33+19-16$.Now add and subtract from left to right: $72+28=100$, $100-11=89$, $89+33=122$, $122+19=141$, $141-16=125$.Alternatively, group all positives $(72+28+33+19)=152$ and all negatives $(11+16)=27$, then $152-27=125$.Answer:The correct answer is $125$, which corresponds to option C.
