Answer:

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

Given the expression


-112.84 - 54.14 - (-29.18)

we have to find the value of above expression.


-112.84 - 54.14 - (-29.18)


\text{As }a-(-b)=a+b

Therefore, the above expression can be written as


-112.84 - 54.14 + 29.18


-(112.84 + 54.14) + 29.18

Using BODMAS rule, first addition will takes place


-166.98+29.18


=-137.8

Hence, option A is correct.
