After interchanging the two signs ‘÷’ and ‘–’, what will be the value of the following expression?
24 + 10 ÷ 12 × 24 – 8
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → –2
Make the interchange first, then work it out by BODMAS (multiplication and division before addition and subtraction).
After the interchange: 24 + 10 – 12 × 24 ÷ 8
\(12\times24=288\)
\(288\div8=36\)
\(24+10-36=-2\)
