Question 127

If ‘+’ means ‘$$\div$$’, ‘$$\times$$’ means ‘-’, ‘$$\div$$’ means ‘$$\times$$’ and ‘-’ means ‘+’ then

$$16\times8+4-6\div3$$=?

Solution

Writing down the above sequence without the operators between them, we have

16 8 4 6 3
Now inserting the operators with their new values we get the equation as

16 - 8 ‘$$\div$$’ 4 + 6 x 3
Now solving this equation using BODMAS gives,
16-2+18
= 32
So the correct option is option C
{BODMAS is a rule which specifies the preference of the operators. Bracket->of->division-> multiplication-> addition-> subtraction}
