Question

What is the value of the variable named result after the following code executes?var X = 5; var Y = 3; var Z = 2;var result = X + Y / Z * X;A. 8B. 20C. 12.5D. 32.5

Answer 1

result = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the values are given as

X=5

Y=3

Z=2

Expression is given as,

result = X + Y/Z *X

so by putting values in expression,

result = 5 + 3/2 * 5

According to BODMAS rule, Divide operation perform first, so

result = 5+ 1.5 * 5

According to BODMAS rule, multiplication on second

so

result = 5 + 7.5

then Addition

so

result = 12.5

BODMAS is the rule in which order of arithmetic operation is defined as,

1. Brackets OFF (BO)
2. Division (D)
3. Multiplication (M)
4. Addition (A)
5. Subtraction (S)
