If '×' means'-', '-' means '+', '/' means '× ' and '+' means '÷ ', which equation is correct? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 16 / 2 + 4 - 1 × 3 = 6.

Option 3) 16 / 2 + 4 - 1 × 3 = 6

If '×' means'-', '-' means '+', '/' means '× ' and '+' means '÷ ', then

⇒ 16 × (2 ÷ 4) + 1 - 3 = 6

⇒ (16 × 0.5) + 1 - 3 = 6

⇒ 8 + 1 - 3 = 6

⇒ 9 - 3 = 6

⇒ 6 = 6
