Question

If '+' means '÷', '–' means '×', '×' means '+', and ‘÷' means '–', then which of the following equations is correct?

A.

7 × 2 + 6 ÷ 3 – 4 = 13


B.

7 ÷ 2 × 6 + 3 – 4 = 13


C.

7 × 2 ÷ 6 + 3 – 4 = 13

D.

7 ÷ 2 + 6 × 3 – 4 = 13

Correct option is B

Given:
'+' means '÷', '–' means '×', '×' means '+', '÷' means '–'
Solution:
Let's substitute and evaluate each option:
Option A.7×2+6÷3–4=13 
7+2÷6−3×4 = 13 
7+ 26\frac{2}{6} - 3 × 4 = 13 
7+ 13\frac{1}{3} - 12 = 13 
​7.33−12 = 13
−4.67 \neq 13 (This equation is incorrect.)
Option B.7÷2×6+3–4=13 
7−2+6÷3×4 = 13
7−2+2×4 = 13
7−2+8 = 13
5+8 = 13
13 = 13 (This equation is correct.)
Option C  7×2÷6+3–4=13 
7+2−6÷3×4 =13 
7+2−2×4 =13 
7+2−8 =13 
9−8 =13 
\neq 13 (This equation is incorrect.)
Option D.7÷2+6×3–4=13 
7−2÷6+3×4  =13 
7− 26\frac{2}{6} +12 =13  
​7− 13\frac{1}{3}+12 =13  
​​7−0.33+12 =13 
18.67 \neq 13 (This equation is incorrect.)
Thus, correct answer is (b) 7÷2×6+3–4=13
