|−4|(|−20|−|5|)

When we take the absolute value of a number, we get non-negative number(positive or zero).

|−x|= x

|−4|(20-5)

(4)*15=60

|a| is always equal to a or 0

A value of modulus function is never negative.

Correct option : C

Knowledge required
1. |- x| = (0,x)
2. PEDMAS

|-4| = (0,4)
|-20| = (0,20)

|-4| x (|-20| - 5)
= 4(20-5)
=4 x 15
= 60
