SSC Stenographer 2023 PYQ — Question 197

SSC Stenographer - 13 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q197

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

200 + 180 ÷ 12 × 9 ̶ 55 = 120

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. + and  -.

200 + 180 ÷ 12 × 9 ̶ 55 = 120

After interchanging signs, 

200 - (180 ÷ 12) × 9 + 55 = 120

200 - 15 × 9 + 55 = 120

200 - 135 + 55 = 120

255 - 135 = 120

120 = 120.
