Correct option is C

Given:​ 12 - 104 ×\times 8 + 5 ÷\div 4 = ?
'+' and '-' are interchanged, and also '×\times​' and '÷\div​' are interchanged.
Logic: Interchange the given symbols in the given equation and then solve the equation using the 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}​​
After interchanging the signs, we get, 12 + 104 ÷\div 8 - 5 ×\times 4 = ?
12 + 13 - 5 ×\times 4 = ?
12 + 13 - 20 = ?
25 - 20 = ?
(?) = 5
Thus, 5 is the final answer.
So, the correct answer is (c).
