BODMAS Rule:

BODMAS rule

Given: [{(34 × 12) - (4 ÷ 3)} + (12 - 5)] ÷ 5

Apply the sign changes we will get

= [{(34 - 12) + (4 × 3)} ÷ (12 + 5)] × 5

Apply the BODMAS rule we will get

= [{(34 - 12) + 12÷ (12 + 5)× 5

= [{22 + 12} ÷ 17] × 5

[34 ÷ 17] × 5

= 2 × 5

= 10

Thus, the value of the following expression is 10.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.
