BODMAS Rule:

Given the interchange rules:

‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged.

‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged.

Now,

Given e×pression: 54 ÷ 11 + 272 × 8 − 114

After replacing the symbols with their meanings:

⇒ 54 × 11 − 272 ÷ 8 + 114

Perform operations according to BODMAS/PEMDAS:

54 × 11272 ÷ 8 + 114

⇒ 594 − 34 + 114

594 - 34 + 114

560 + 114 = 674

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
