Question

If + means multiplied by, - means divided by, * means plus and / means minus then:  
(18 + 10 × 20) - 8 ÷ 6 = ? 

• A. 92
• B. 35
• C. 26
• D. 19

Hint:

In such problems, first replace the symbols and then perform the operations step by step following BODMAS rules.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the given expression with the given symbol meanings, you need to first substitute the symbols in the expression with their actual operations:

1. + means multiplied by (×)
2. - means divided by (÷)
3. * means plus (+)
4. / means minus (−)

Let's substitute each symbol and compute step by step:

The expression:

\((18 + 10 \times 20) - 8 ÷ 6\)

Substituting the symbols according to given meanings:

\((18 \times 10 + 20) ÷ 8 − 6\)

Now, solve the expression by following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Perform multiplication: \(18 \times 10 = 180\)
2. Addition: \(180 + 20 = 200\)
3. Division: \(200 ÷ 8 = 25\)
4. Subtraction: \(25 − 6 = 19\)

Therefore, the correct answer is 19.
