If ‘+ is interchanged with ‘×', and ‘-’ is interchanged with ‘÷', then which of the following equations is correct?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 18 + 6 x 24 - 4 ÷ 64 = 50.
Given conditions: + → ×; - → ÷
Let us check all the options:
Option 1: 18 - 6 × 24 + 4 ÷ 64 = 50
The expression becomes:
= 18 ÷ 6 + 24 × 4 ÷ 64
= 35 is not equal to 50.
Option 2: 18 + 6 × 24 - 4 ÷ 64 = 50
= 18 × 6 + 24 ÷ 4 - 64
= 50 is equal to 50.
As we have found our answer, there is no need to check other options.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
