Question 1

If '+' means '÷', 'x' means '-', '÷' means '+' and '-' means 'x', then 16 ÷ 8 x6 - 2 + 12 = ?

A
23
B
24
C
17
D
22
Correct Answer: Option A

16 ÷ 8 x 6 - 2 + 12

Replacing the signs, 16 + 8 - 6 x 2 ÷ 12

= 16 + 8 - (6 x 2)/12 = 16 + 8 -1 = 24 - 1 = 23

Question 2

If + means 'subtraction', x means 'division', '÷' means 'addition' and '-' means 'multiplication', then 15 x 5 + 78 - 5 ÷ 4 = ?

A
- 383
B
- 460
C
- 475
D
- 743
Correct Answer: Option A

15 x 5 + 78 - 5 ÷ 4

Now, changing the signs as per the questions,

15/5 - 78 x 5 + 4 = 3 - 390 + 4 = - 390 + 7 = -383

Question 3

If '+' means 'x', '-' means '÷', 'x' means '-' and '÷' means '+', then find the value of the given equation 6 + 64 - 8 ÷ 45 x 8 = ?

A
85
B
76
C
87
D
75
Correct Answer: Option A

Given equation, 6 + 64 - 8 ÷ 45 x 8

Now, changing the sign as per the question,

 6 x 64 ÷ 8 + 45 - 8 = (6 x 64)/8 + 45 - 8

 6 x 8 + 45 - 8 = 48 + 45 - 8 = 93 - 8 = 85

Question 4

If 'x' means subtraction; '-' means division, '◻' means addition and '%' means multiplication, then find the value of 13 ◻ 3 x 6 % 8 - 4 ◻ 14 = ?

A
18
B
14
C
12
D
8
Correct Answer: Option A

Given, ? = 13 ◻ 3 x 6 % 8 - 4 ◻ 14

Now, changing the symbols into the sign as per question,

      ? = 13 + 3 - 6 x 8 ÷ 4 + 14
   ? = 13 + 3 -6 x 8/4 + 14
   ? = 13 + 3 - 12 + 14
   ? = 30 - 12
   ? = 18

Question 5

If the mathematical signs interchange from - to +, + to ÷, x to - and ÷ to x, then find out the correct answer of the given equation 6 ÷ 8 + 2 x 5 - 8 = ?

A
27
B
18
C
32
D
28
Correct Answer: Option A

6 ÷ 8 + 2 x 5 - 8 = 6 x 8 ÷ 2 - 5 + 8

= 6 x 4 - 5 + 8

= 24 - 5 + 8

= 32 - 5 = 27

Question 6

If P denotes '÷', Q denotes 'X', R denotes '+' and S denotes '-', then
18 Q 12 P 4 R 5 S 6 = ?

A
95
B
53
C
51
D
57
Correct Answer: Option B

Given, 18 Q 12 P 4 R 5 S 6

After changing the letters into signs as per given in the question, we have

18 x 12 ÷ 4 + 5 - 6
= 18 x 12/4 + 5 - 6 [by VBODMAS rule]
= 18 x 3 + 5 -6 = 54 + 5 - 6
= 59 - 6 = 53

Question 7

In a certain code language, '÷' represents '+', '-' represents 'x', '+' represents '÷' and 'x' represents '-'. Find out the answer to the given question 8 - 14 + 7 x 10 ÷ 9 = ?

A
15
B
28
C
20
D
13
Correct Answer: Option A

Given, 8 - 14 + 7 x 10 ÷ 9
Now, changing, the signs as per the questions,
8 x 14 ÷ 7 - 10 + 9
= 8 x 2 - 10 + 9 = 16 - 10 + 9
= 25 - 10 = 15

Question 8

In a certain code language, 'x' represents '+', '÷' represents 'x', '-' represents '÷' and '+' represents '-'. Find out the answer to the given question 25 ÷ 2 - 10 + 10 x 6 = ?

A
1
B
21
C
19
D
20
Correct Answer: Option A

Given, 25 ÷ 2 - 10 + 10 x 6

Replacing the signs,
25 x 2 ÷ 10 - 10 + 6
= 25/5 - 10 + 6
= 5 - 10 + 6 = 11 - 10 = 1

Question 9

If 'a' represents ÷, 'b' represents +, 'c' represents -, and 'd' represents x, then
24 a 6 d 4 b 9 c 8 = ?

A
20
B
19
C
6
D
17
Correct Answer: Option D

Given, ? = 24 a 6 d 4 b 9 c 8

 ? = 24 ÷ 6 x 4 + 9 - 8

 ? = 24/6 x 4 + 9 - 8

 ? = 4 x 4 + 9 - 8

 ? = 16 + 9 - 8

 ? = 25 - 8  ? = 17

Question 10

If '>' stands for 'division', 'v' stands for 'multiplication', '-' stands for 'greater than', 'x' stands for 'less than', '<' stands for 'addition', '^' stands for 'subtraction', '+' stands for 'equal to', then which of the following equations is correct?

A
10 ^ 3 < 5 < 4 + 16
B
4 ^ 6 < 4 < 4 + 16
C
12 ^ 3 < 5 < 4 + 12
D
11 ^ 12 < 5 < 4 + 12
Correct Answer: Option A

After changing the signs of equation given in option (A) as per the question, we get

10 - 3 + 5 + 4 = 16

19 - 3 = 16  16 = 16
