I. 4 + 6 × 5 – 7 ÷ 1

II. 5 × 3 – 4 + 8 ÷ 2

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 27, –13.

Given conditions: + and ×, 5 and 4

After interchanging the expression becomes:

I. 4 + 6 × 5 – 7 ÷ 1

= 5 × 6 + 4 – 7 ÷ 1

= 5 × 6 + 4 – 7 = 27

II. 5 × 3 – 4 + 8 ÷ 2

= 4 + 3 – 5 × 8 ÷ 2

= 4 + 3 – 5 × 4 = -13
