The given expression can be simplified as

6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2)

The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.

First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.

Now, the expression becomes 6 ÷ 2 (3)

According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3.

6 ÷ 2 × 3

= 3 × 3

= 9

But not  6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1

Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.

Like commas, semicolons indicate an audible pause — slightly longer than a comma's, but short of a period's full stop.

Rules for Semicolon ::

1. A semicolon can replace a period if the writer wishes to narrow the gap between two closely linked sentences.

2. Use a semicolon before such words and terms as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., for instance, etc., when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after these words and terms.

3. Avoid a semicolon when a dependent clause comes before an independent clause.

4. Use a semicolon to separate units of a series when one or more of the units contain commas.

The resistivity of wire or the metal conductor is depend on the number density of free electrons in the conductor. so its mainly depends on nature of the material

let x be the correct answer and y be the wrong answer
so the total number of questions is (x + y) = 150.....(1)
=> 4x - 2y = 420.....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
=> 6x = 720
hence x = 120
Therefore, number of correct answers are 120.
