C)87.88
D)196.16

Answer 1

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.
