If ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘ ̶ ’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘ ̶ ’ and ‘÷’ means ‘×’, what will be the value of the following expression?
[{(32 × 20) - (2 ÷ 3)} + (2 - 4)] ÷ 3
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 9.
Given equation: [{(32 × 20) - (2 ÷ 3)} + (2 - 4)] ÷ 3
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= [{(32 - 20) + (2 × 3)} ÷ (2 + 4)] × 3
= [{12 + 6} ÷ 6] × 3
= [18 ÷ 6] × 3
= 3 × 3 = 9
