Question:

If '–' stands for '÷', '+' stands for '×', '÷' stands for '–' and '×' stands for '+', then find out which one is correct ?

Options:

49 + 7 – 3 × 5 ÷ 8 = 20

49 – 7 + 3 ÷ 5 × 8 = 24

49 × 7 + 3 ÷ 5 – 8 = 16

49 ÷ 7 × 3 + 5 – 8 = 26

Correct Answer:

49 – 7 + 3 ÷ 5 × 8 = 24

Explanation:

49 – 7 + 3 ÷ 5 × 8 = 24

change the signs as per the question,

49 ÷ 7 × 3 – 5 + 8 = 24

⇒ 7 × 3 – 5 + 8 = 24

⇒ 21 – 5 + 8 = 24

∴ 24 = 24
