Question

If "+' means'-', '-' means 'x', 'x' means'÷, and '÷' means '+', then find the value of: 8+4-12 × 6 ÷ 3

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 3
• D. 10

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3

Replace each symbol according to the given rules:

• + means −

• − means ×

• × means ÷

• ÷ means +

So,

8 + 4 − 12 × 6 ÷ 3

becomes

8 − 4 × 12 ÷ 6 + 3

Now apply the BODMAS rule:

• $(4 \times 12 = 48)$

• $(48 \div 6 = 8)$

So,

(8 - 8 + 3 = 3)

Answer: 3
