    Question

    If '×' means 'subtraction', '+' means 'division', '-' means 'addition' and '+' means 'multiplication', what will be the value of the following expression?
    30 + [{(12 - 13) × (5 ÷ 2)} + (18 × 13)] 

    A.

    B.

    10

    C.

    6

    D.

    3

    Correct option is B

    Decoding the information, 

    Symbol
    Meaning
    -
    Addition (+)
    ×
    Subtraction (-)
    ÷
    Multiplication (×)
    +
    Division (÷)

    Given:
    30 + [{(12 - 13) × (5 ÷ 2)} + (18 × 13)] 
    After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,
    30 ÷ [{ (12 + 13) -  (5 × 2)} ÷  (18 - 13)
    = 30 ÷ { (25 - 10) ÷ 5}
    = 30 ÷  (15 ÷ 5)
    30 ÷ 3
    = 10
    Hence,  “10” is the correct answer.
