Step-by-Step Solution

We solve each of the options and keep in mind the order of arithmetic operations: calculation of the operation within parentheses, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right).

a.

(10+3)×(301)=13×29 (10+3)\times(30-1)=13\times29

b.

10×3×30×1=30×30×1=900 10\times3\times30\times1=30\times30\times1=900

c.

(10×3)×30=13×30 (10\times3)\times30=13\times30

d.

10×3+29=30+29=59 10\times3+29=30+29=59

Therefore, the answer is option A.

Answer

(10+3)×(301) (10+3)\times(30-1)
