Question

If ‘+’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ means ‘+’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
32 ÷ 14 + 16 – 8 × 4 = ?

A.

14

B.

18

C.

16

D.

22

Correct option is A

Expression:
32 ÷ 14 + 16 – 8 × 4
With operations redefined as:
‘+’ means ‘–’
‘–’ means ‘×’
‘×’ means ‘÷’
‘÷’ means ‘+’
Becomes:
32 + 14 – 16 × 8 ÷ 4
Now apply BODMAS:
First: 8 ÷ 4 = 2
Then: 16 × 2 = 32
32 + 14 - 32
That result is 14

Option A is correct.
