Canara Bank PO BODMAS

Division and Multiplication have equal priority - solve whichever comes first from left to right. Same applies to Addition and Subtraction. Always complete one bracket fully before moving to the next. When you have nested brackets, solve the innermost bracket first

B → O → DM (left to right) → AS (left to right) SSC CGL regularly tests BODMAS in 2-3 questions per paper

Complex expressions with all operations mixed together. Nested brackets with multiple levels. Fraction expressions requiring BODMAS application. Word problems disguised as BODMAS questions.

Questions with deliberate traps to test if you know the correct sequence

Use the BRACKET-FIRST technique. When you see a complex expression, immediately identify and mark all brackets with different colors or underlines. Solve the deepest nested bracket first, then work outward. This prevents confusion and saves time.
