What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘-’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?

125 ÷ 5 + 1809 × 9 - 14 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 438.

Given equation: 125 ÷ 5 + 1809 × 9 - 14 = ?

If ‘+’ and ‘-’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged:

125 × 5 - (1809 ÷ 9) + 14 = ?

= (125 × 5) - 201 + 14

= 625 - 201 + 14

= 639 - 201 

= 438
