Question

What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if '+' and '-' are interchanged and 'x' and '' are interchanged? 140 × 2 - 4 ÷ 56 + 82 = ?

• A. 262
• B. 265
• C. 241
• D. 212

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 212

After interchanging:

• (+) and (-)

• ( \times ) and ( \div )

the equation becomes:

$140 \div 2 + 4 \times 56 - 82$
Now apply BODMAS:

$140 \div 2 = 70$
$4 \times 56 = 224$

So,

$70 + 224 - 82$
$294 - 82 = 212$

Answer: 212
