If ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ means ‘+’, what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
36 - 5 ÷ 240 × 6 + 17 = ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 203.
Given equation: 36 - 5 ÷ 240 × 6 + 17 =?
Given conditions: ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ means ‘+’
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 36 × 5 + 240 ÷ 6 - 17
= 36 × 5 + 40 - 17
= 180 + 40 - 17
= 220 - 17 = 203
