    Question

    If '+' means ' ×',×' means '÷', '÷' means '-', and '-' means '+', what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
    13-17+24÷54×18+28×14=?

    A.

    380

    B.

    225

    C.

    510

    D.

    415

    Correct option is D

    The original equation is 13 - 17 + 24 ÷ 54 × 18 + 28 × 14 = ?.
    The operators have the following meanings:

    • '+' means '×'
    • '×' means '÷'
    • '÷' means '-'
    • '-' means '+'

    Substituting the operators:
    The equation becomes 13 + 17 × 24 - 54 ÷ 18 × 28 ÷ 14.

    Apply BODMAS to simplify:

    1. Handle multiplication and division first:
      17×24=40817 × 24 = 40817×24=408
      54÷18=354 ÷ 18 = 354÷18=3
      3×28=843 × 28 = 843×28=84
      84÷14=684 ÷ 14 = 684÷14=6

    The equation now becomes 13 + 408 - 6.

    1. Perform addition and subtraction:
      13+408=42113 + 408 = 42113+408=421
      421−6=415421 - 6 = 4154216=415.

    Correct Answer: 415
