If '+' means '÷', '-' means '×', '×' means '-' and '÷' means '+' then, what will be the value of 4×8+4÷4-2?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given symbol substitutions:
• '+' stands for '÷'
• '-' stands for '×'
• '×' stands for '-'
• '÷' stands for '+'
Original expression: 4 × 8 + 4 ÷ 4 - 2
Replacing the signs with their respective operations:
= 4 - 8 ÷ 4 + 4 × 2
Applying the BODMAS rule:
= 4 - 2 + 4 × 2 (performing division: 8 ÷ 4 = 2)
= 4 - 2 + 8 (performing multiplication: 4 × 2 = 8)
= 12 - 2 = 10
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) 10.
