Question:

After interchanging the two signs × and ÷, what will be the value of the following expression?

200 + 5 ÷ 8 × 2 – 5

Options:

216

215

214

212

Correct Answer:

215

Explanation:

For every type of Mathematical operations question, you must know only one rule i.e. BODMAS. It is “Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. It means you must solve any equation in the BODMAS order. First, open the brackets, then solve the powers or roots, then perform Division followed by multiplication, Addition and subtraction.

In this question, we replace signs according to the question.

Given expression:

= 200 + 5 × 8 ÷ 2 – 5

= 200 + 5 × 4 - 5

= 200 + 20 - 5

= 200 + 15 = 215
