315 × 15 − 93 + 16 ÷ 7 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2.

Given equation: 315 × 15 − 93 + 16 ÷ 7 = ? 

if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged:

= (315 ÷ 15) + 93 - 16 × 7 

= 21 + 93 - (16 × 7)

= (21 + 93) - 112

= 114 - 112

= 2
