If ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘-’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘-’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’, what will be the value of the following expression?
[{(49 × 12) − (6 ÷ 2)} + (4 − 3)] ÷ 5
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 35.
Given equation: [{(49 × 12) − (6 ÷ 2)} + (4 − 3)] ÷ 5
Given directions: ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘-’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘-’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= [{(49 - 12) + (6 × 2)} ÷ (4 + 3)] × 5
= [{37 + 12} ÷ 7] × 5
= [49 ÷ 7] × 5
= 7 × 5
= 35
Hence, 35 is the correct answer.
