If × means ÷, ÷ means −, − means +, and + means ×, what will be the value of the given expression?
7 + 5 ÷ 3 − 12 × 4

Given: 7 + 5 ÷ 3 − 12 × 4 

 $$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline \end{array}$$ 

New Equation: 7 × 5 -  3 + 12 ÷ 4 

= 7 × 5 -  3 + 3

= 35 -  3 + 3

= 38 -  3 

Thus, correct option is (d).
