Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given expression: 36 + 6 - 3 × 5 ÷ 3
According to the question, replacing the signs:
• '+' becomes '÷'
• '-' becomes '×'
• '×' becomes '-'
• '÷' becomes '+'
New expression:
36 ÷ 6 × 3 - 5 + 3
Applying the BODMAS rule:
• = 6 × 3 - 5 + 3
• = 18 - 5 + 3
• = 21 - 5
• = 16
Hence, the correct option is (D).
