If ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘ ̶ ’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘−’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’, what will be the value of the following expression?
[{( 14 × 6 ) - ( 4 ÷ 3 )} + ( 6 - 4 )] ÷ 3
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6.
Given conditions: ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘ ̶ ’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘−’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’
Given equation: [{( 14 × 6 ) - ( 4 ÷ 3 )} + ( 6 - 4 )] ÷ 3
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= [{( 14 - 6 ) + ( 4 × 3 )} ÷ ( 6 + 4 )] × 3
= [{8 + 12} ÷ 10] × 3
= [20 ÷ 10] × 3 = 6
