• A. 5
• B. 12
• C. 1
• D. 7

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 5

Solution:

The logic followed here is :-

By using BODMAS RULE :

Symbol	<	×	÷	+
Means	×	-	+	÷

The given expression : 5 ÷ 3 < 2 + (9 + 3) × 2 = ? 

After interchanging the symbols by mathematical operators the expression is as follows : 5 + 3 × 2 ÷ (9 ÷ 3) - 2

= 5 + 3 × 2 ÷ (9 ÷ 3) - 2

= 5 + 3 × 2 ÷ 3 - 2

= 5 + 3 × 0.66 - 2

= 5 + 2 - 2

= 7 - 2

= 5

Hence, the correct answer is "5".
