55 × 16 − 4 ÷ 7 + 3 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 38.

Given equation: 55 × 16 − 4 ÷ 7 + 3 = ?

If ‘+’ and ‘×’ are interchanged and ‘−’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged, then

= 55 + 16 ÷ 4 - 7 × 3

= 55 + 4 - 7 × 3

= 55 + 4 - 21

= 59 - 21

= 38
