10 ÷ 5 × 5 – 30 + 3 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 37.

Given equation: 10 ÷ 5 × 5 – 30 + 3 = ?

Given conditions:

+ means –, – means ×, × means ÷, and ÷ means +

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 10 + 5 ÷ 5 × 30 - 3

= 10 + 1 × 30 - 3

= 10 + 30 - 3

= 40 - 3

= 37

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
