Question:

If ‘×’ means addition, ‘–’ means division, ‘÷’ means subtraction and ‘+’ means multiplication, then which of the equation is correct?

Options:

16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 19

16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 – 3 = 9

16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9

16 – 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12

Correct Answer:

16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9

Explanation:

Putting  × = +,  

– = ÷, 

÷ = –  and  + =  ×

only  16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3

satisfy the equation:

16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3  =  9

9  =  9
