    Question

    What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−‘ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
    38 ÷ 21 + 436 × 4 − 73 = ?

    A.

    761

    B.

    762

    C.

    764

    D.

    763

    Correct option is B

    Given Expression:
    38 ÷ 21 + 436 × 4 − 73
    With operator interchanges:
    ‘+’ becomes ‘−’
    ‘−’ becomes ‘+’
    ‘×’ becomes ‘÷’
    ‘÷’ becomes ‘×’
    Apply substitution:
    So the new expression becomes:
    38 × 21 − 436 ÷ 4 + 73
     Apply BODMAS (solve in correct order)
    Expression:
    38 × 21 − 436 ÷ 4 + 73
    Step-by-step:
    38 × 21 = 798
    436 ÷ 4 = 109
    Now apply the operations:
    798 − 109 = 689
    689 + 73 = 762

    762 is answer.
