    Question

    What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
    66 × 6 ÷ 3 − 128 ÷ 2 + 15 × 3 − 16 ÷ 2 + 17 = ?

    A.

    245

    B.

    224

    C.

    239

    D.

    299

    Correct option is D

    Information Given:
    Operator change:
    + ↔ −
    × ↔ ÷
    Original expression:
    66 × 6 ÷ 3 − 128 ÷ 2 + 15 × 3 − 16 ÷ 2 + 17
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[], {}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\\hline \text{Addition} &+ \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}​​
    Step-by-step (after interchange):
    66 ÷ 6 × 3 + 128 × 2 − 15 ÷ 3 + 16 × 2 − 17
    Apply BODMAS:
    66 ÷ 6 = 11
    11 × 3 = 33
    128 × 2 = 256
    15 ÷ 3 = 5
    16 × 2 = 32
    Now:
    33 + 256 − 5 + 32 − 17
    = 289 − 5 + 32 − 17
    = 284 + 32 − 17
    = 316 − 17
    = 299
    Final Answer:
    299
    Final Correct Option:
    (D)
