SSC CPO Tier I - 11th December 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q166

If + means –, – means ×, × means ÷, and ÷ means +, then what will be the value of the following expression?

15 – 2 ÷ 90 × 9 + 10

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 30.

Understanding Application

Given: 15 – 2 ÷ 90 × 9 + 10

+ = –

– = ×

× = ÷

÷ = +

Therefore, by changing the signs, the equation becomes:

15 × 2 + 90 ÷ 9 – 10

We will solve the equation using the BODMAS rule.

= 15 × 2 + 10 – 10

= 30 + 10 – 10

= 30
