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
