    Question

    If ‘+’ means ‘–’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, ‘÷’ means ‘+’, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
    44 ÷ 120 × 5 – 2 + 10 × 2 = ?

    A.

    84

    B.

    85

    C.

    87

    D.

    86

    Correct option is C

    Given: ‘+’ means ‘–’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’, ‘÷’ means ‘+’
    Logic: interchange mathematical operators and solve as per BODMAS rule.

    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders,of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline Brackets &[],{}, () \\ \hline Orders, of & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline Division& ÷ \\ \hline Multiplication & × \\ \hline Addition & + \\ \hline Subtraction & - \\\hline \end{array}
    Given:
    44 ÷ 120 × 5 – 2 + 10 × 2
    After interchanging,
    44 + 120 ÷ 5 × 2 - 10 ÷ 2
    = 44 + 24 × 2 - 5
    = 44 + 48 – 5
    = 87
    Thus, correct option (c).
