If - means +, × means ÷, ÷ means -, + means ×, what will come in place of the question mark (?)?

32 + 36 × 4 - 21 ÷ 56 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 253

Given equation: 32 + 36 × 4 - 21 ÷ 56 = ?

Given conditions:

- means +, × means ÷, ÷ means -, + means ×

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 32 × 36 ÷ 4 + 21 - 56

= 32 × 9 + 21 - 56

= 288 + 21 - 56

= 309 - 56

= 253

Hence, 253 is the correct answer.
