Question

What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation if ‘9’ and ‘3’ are interchanged? 2 – 3 ÷ 9 × 6 + 5 =?

• A. – 9
• B. 5
• C. 13/3
• D. – 11

Answer 1

Answer:

D. – 11

Correct answer:-11

Step 1: Interchange '9' and '3' in the equation

• Original equation: $2 - 3 \div 9 \times 6 + 5 = ?$

• New equation: $2 - 9 \div 3 \times 6 + 5 = ?$

Step 2: Apply the BODMAS/DMAS rule (Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction)

1. Division: Solve $9 \div 3$
   $2 - 3 \times 6 + 5 = ?$

2. Multiplication: Solve $3 \times 6$
   $2 - 18 + 5 = ?$

3. Addition and Subtraction: Group positive terms together ($2 + 5$) and subtract $18$
   $7 - 18 = -11$
