Question

If \(+\) means multiplication, \(- \)means addition, \(÷\) means subtraction and \(\times\) means division, then what is the value of the expression 456 \(\times\) 24 \(+\)38\(÷\)958\(-\)364?

• A. 126
• B. 127
• C. 128
• D. 129

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are given a mathematical expression where the operators have changed meanings:

• \( + \) means multiplication (\(*\)).
• \( - \) means addition (\(+\)).
• \( \times \) means division (\(/\)).

The given expression is:

\[ 456 \times 24 + 38 \div 958 - 364 \]

Step 1: Replace Operators with Given Meanings

Replacing each symbol according to the given mappings:

\[ 456 \div 24 \times 38 - 958 + 364 \]

Step 2: Follow BODMAS (Order of Operations)

First, perform division:

\[ 456 \div 24 = 19 \]

Now, multiply:

\[ 19 \times 38 = 722 \]

Next, perform subtraction:

\[ 722 - 958 = -236 \]

Finally, addition:

\[ -236 + 364 = 128 \]

Final Answer:

Option (C) 128
