    Question

    What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
    21 − 7 ÷ 144 × 3 + 18 = ?

    A.

    323

    B.

    330

    C.

    342

    D.

    339

    Correct option is D

    Given - 21 − 7 ÷ 144 × 3 + 18
    Now apply the interchanges:
    ‘−’ becomes ‘+’
    ‘÷’ becomes ‘×’
    ‘×’ becomes ‘÷’
    ‘+’ becomes ‘−’
    So the modified equation becomes:
    21 + 7 × 144 ÷ 3 − 18
    Step 2: Apply BODMAS (operator precedence)
    Expression:
    21 + 7 × 144 ÷ 3 − 18
    First, do multiplication and division from left to right:
    7 × 144 = 1008
    1008 ÷ 3 = 336
    Now the expression becomes:
    21 + 336 − 18
    Now do addition and subtraction:
    21 + 336 = 357
    357 − 18 = 339
     Final Answer: D) 339
