Question

If ‘+’ represents ‘×’, ‘-‘represents ‘+’, ‘ב represents ‘÷’ and ‘÷’ represents ‘-‘, then find the value of the following expression. 48 ÷ 8 × 4 + 12

• A. 36
• B. 24
• C. 28
• D. 32

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 24

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

 

Given expression: 48$\div{8}\times{4}$ + 12

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

48 – $8\div4\times{12}$

= 48 - 2 $\times$ 12

= 48 - 24

= 24

Hence, ‘24’ is the correct answer.
