Question 50

In the following question, different letters stand for various symbols as indicated below :
R: Addition
S: Subtraction
T: Multiplication
U: Division
V : Equal to
W: Greater than
X: Less than
Out of the four alternatives given only oneis correct according to the aboveletter symbols. Identify the correct one.

Solution

(A) : 16T2R4U6X8

$$\equiv16\times2+4\div6<8$$

L.H.S. = $$32+\frac{2}{3}=32.67$$ which is greater than 8, hence it is not correct.

(B) : 16U2R4S6W8

$$\equiv16\div2+4-6>8$$

L.H.S. = $$8-2=6$$ which is less than 8, hence it is also not correct.

$$\equiv16+2-4=6+8$$

L.H.S. = $$18-4=14$$

R.H.S. = $$6+8=18$$

$$\because$$ L.H.S. = R.H.S., hence it is correct.

=> Ans - (C)
