1. If ‘+’means ‘minus’, ‘x’ means ‘divided by’, ‘÷’ means ‘plus’ and ‘-‘means ‘multiplied by’ then which of the following will be the value of the expression 252 x 9 – 5 + 32 ÷ 92 = ?
(a)  95
(b) 168
(c) 192
(d) 200
putting the proper signs in the given expression,
We get: 252 ÷9 x 5 – 32 + 92 = 28 x 5 – 32 + 92 = 140 – 32 + 92= 232 – 32 = 200.

2. If ‘+’ means x, x means -,÷ means +,and –means ÷ , then which of the following gives the result of 175 – 25 ÷ 5+ 20 x 3 + 10 = ?

(b) 160
(c) 240
(d) 2370
Using the proper signs in the given expression,
We get: 175 ÷ 25 + 5 x 20 – 3 x 10 = 7 + 5 x 20 – 3 x 10 = 7 + 100 – 30 = 107 – 30 = 77.

(c) 248
(d) 251
Using the proper signs,
We get: 14 x 10 + 42 ÷ 2 – 8 = 14 x 10 + 21 – 8 = 140 + 21 – 8 = 161 – 8 = 153.

4. If ‘+’ means ‘divided by’, ‘-‘ means ‘added to’, ‘x’ means’ subtracted from’ and ‘÷’ means ‘multiplied by’, then what is the value of 24 ÷  12 – 18 + 9 ?
