Kinshook · Answer

|–1 – 2| – |5 – 6| – |–3 + 4| = 3 - 1 - 1 = 1

IMO C

Nipungupta9081 · Answer

IMO C

The values inside the mod will always be Positive
 = 3 - 1 - 1 
 = 1

kntombat · Answer

|–1 – 2| – |5 – 6| – |–3 + 4|= 3-1-1 => 1.

Therefore the OA is C.

BrushMyQuant · Answer

Theory: Modulus/Absolute Value of a number is the non-negative value of the number

|-1 - 2| - |5 - 6| - |-3 + 4| = |-3| - |-1| - |1|
Now, |-3| = 3 (as modulus gives the non-negative value of the number)
Similarly, |-1| = 1

=> |-3| - |-1| - |1| = 3 - 1 - 1 = 3-2 = 1

So,  Answer will be C 
Hope it helps!
