If ‘+’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘+’, ‘−’ means ‘÷’, and ‘÷’ means ‘−’, then what is the result of:
5 × 4 + 2 − 6 ÷ 3 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

5 × 4 + 2 − 6 ÷ 3

Transforming the meaning:

5 + 4 × 2 ÷ 6 − 3

Now according to BODMAS:

4 × 2 = 8

8 ÷ 6 = 4/3

5+43−3 5+\frac{4}{3}-3

=2+43=103=3.33=2+\frac{4}{3} =\frac{10}{3} =3.33
