    Question

    If ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘x’ means ‘+’, ‘÷’ means ‘–’, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
    81 ÷ 3 – 14 ÷ 7 × 6 + 6 – 5 = ?

    A.

    43

    B.

    37

    C.

    50

    D.

    55

    Correct option is B

    Given: ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘–’ means ‘×’, ‘x’ 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:
    81 ÷ 3 – 14 ÷ 7 × 6 + 6 – 5
    After interchanging,
    81 - 3 × 14 - 7 + 6 ÷ 6 × 5
    =81 - 42 - 7 + 1 × 5
    =81 - 42 - 7 + 5
    =37
    Thus, correct option (b).​​
