SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 91

SSC CGL - 16 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q91

Select the correct sequence of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.

6 * 10 * 55 * 162 * 9 = 23

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ×, −, +, ÷

Using the BODMAS rule we get:

6 × 10 – 55 + 162 ÷ 9 = 23

6 × 10 – 55 + 18 = 23

60 – 55 + 18 = 23

5 + 18 = 23

23 = 23

As we get the option 1 correct so there is no need to check other options as we have already got the correct answer.
