Question

If '+' means 'x', '-' means '+', 'x' means '÷' and '÷' means '-' , then 6 + 7 x 3 - 8 ÷ 20 = ?

• A. 2
• B. -3
• C. 7
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2

The pattern followed here is,

Symbol	+	-	$\times$	$\div$
Meaning	$\times$	+	$\div$	-

 

Given expression:6 + 7 $\times$ 3 - 8 $\div$ 20 = ?

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 6 $\times$ 7 $\div$ 3 + 8 – 20

= 14 + 8 – 20

= 22 – 20

= 2

Hence, ‘2’ is the correct answer.
