    Question

    If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    Then which of the following equation is correct?

    A.

    20+39÷5×2=2020 + 3-9÷5×2=20 ​​

    B.

    203+9×5÷2=6320-3+9×5÷2=63​​

    C.

    20×3÷95+2=3220×3÷9-5+2=32​​

    D.

    20÷3×9+52=5020÷3×9+5-2=50​​

    Correct option is B

    Given: If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    From Option A.) 20+3-9÷5×2=20
    If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    then modified equation will be:
    20×3÷9-5+2=20
    20×0.33-5+2=20
    6.6-5+2=20
    8.6-5=20
    3.6≠ 20 (not follow)
    From Option B.) 20-3+9×5÷2=63
    If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    then modified equation will be:
    20÷3×9+5-2=63
    6.67×9+5-2=63
    60+5-2=63
    65-2=63
    63=63 (Follows)
    From Option C.) 20×3÷9-5+2=32
    If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    then modified equation will be:
    20+3-9÷5×2=32
    20+3-1.8×2=32
    20+3-3.6=32
    23-3.6=32
    19.4≠32 (not follow)
    From Option D.) 20÷3×9+5-2=50
    If '-' means, '÷', '+' means ‘×’, '÷' stands for '-' and ‘×' means '+'
    then modified equation will be:
    20-3+9×5÷2=50
    20-3+9×2.5=50
    20-3+22.5=50
    42.5-3=50
    39.5≠50 (not follow)
    Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
