Question 11

If '+' stands for division; 'x' stands for addition, '-' stands for multiplication, '÷' stands for subtraction, which of the following equation is correct?

A
36 + 6 - 3 x 5 ÷ 3 = 24
B
36 x 6 + 7 ÷ 2 - 6 = 20
C
36 ÷ 6 + 3 x 5 - 3 = 40
D
36 - 6 + 3 x 5 ÷ 3 = 74
Correct Answer: Option D

On changing the signs, in option (D), we get

36 x 6 ÷ 3 + 5 - 3 = 74

 36 x 2 + 5 - 3 = 74

 72 + 5 - 3 = 74 77 - 3 = 74

74 = 74

Question 12

If +, -, x, ÷, =, > and < are represented as δ, ●, γ, η, ω, β and α respectively, then which of the following is correct?

A
3 γ 6 η 2 δ 8 ● 4 ω 5
B
3 η 6 γ 2 δ 8 ● 4 β 5
C
3 γ 6 ● 2 δ 8 η 4 α 5
D
3 δ 6 ● 2 γ 8 η 4 ω 5
Correct Answer: Option D

From option (D) 3 δ 6 ● 2 γ 8 η 4 ω 5

3 + 6 - 2 x 8 ÷ 4 = 5

9 - 2 x 2 = 5

5 = 5

Question 13

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace '★' signs and to balance the following equation.

6 ★ 4 ★ 12 ★ 12

A
÷, -, =
B
+, -, ÷
C
=, -, ÷
D
x, - , =
Correct Answer: Option D

6 ★ 4 ★ 12 ★ 12

From option (D), 6 x 4 - 12 = 12  12 = 12

Question 14

Which of the following sets of operations with the usual notations replacing the stars in the order given makes the statements valid?

 100  ★  16 ★  225 ★  1

A
x, =, +
B
+, =, -
C
+, =, x
D
-, x, =
Correct Answer: Option B

From option (B),  100  +  16  =  225  -  1 

 10 + 4 = 15 -1

 14 = 14

Question 15

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace '★' signs and to balance the given equation.

24 ★ 34 ★ 2 ★ 5 ★ 12

A
+ ÷ x =
B
= ÷ + -
C
= ÷ - +
D
+ ÷ = x
Correct Answer: Option C

From option (C), we have

24 = 34 ÷ 2 - 5 + 12

24 = 17 -5 + 12

24 = 29 - 5

24 = 24

Question 16

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace '★' signs and to balance the following equation.

(8 ★ 7 ★ 6) ★ 5 ★ 10

A
x - ÷ =
B
- x ÷ +
C
+ - ÷ x
D
x + = ÷
Correct Answer: Option A

Given equation is (8 ★ 7 ★ 6) ★ 5 ★ 10
Now, replacing ★ sign with the mathematical signs in option (A),

(8 x 7 - 6) ÷ 5 = 10

 (56 - 6) ÷ 5 = 10  50 ÷ 5 = 10

10 = 10

Question 17

If 17 x 64 = 4716, 28 x 34 = 4823, then 76 x 84 = ?

Question 18

If 9 x 3 + 8 = 24, 10 x 2 + 7 = 35 and 80 x 40 + 3 = 6, then find the value of 12 x 4 + 3 = ?

A
7
B
9
C
12
D
16
Correct Answer: Option B

As, (9 ÷ 3) x 8 = 24

 (10 ÷ 2) x 7 = 35

and (80 ÷ 40) x 3 = 6

Similarly, (12 ÷ 4) x 3 = 9

Question 19

Some equation are solved on the basis of a certain system. On the same basis, find out the correct answer for the unsolved equation.

4 - 5 -1 = 514, 3 - 5 - 6 = 563, 0 - 6 - 8 = ?

A
860
B
680
C
806
D
068

Question 20

If 4 ★ 2 @ 3 = 6, 18 ★ 6 @ 4 = 12, then what will be the value of 24 ★ 3 @ 7 = ?

A
21
B
27
C
72
D
56
Correct Answer: Option D

Here, sign ★ implies division and sign @ implies multiplication

4 ÷ 2 x 3 = 6, 18 ÷ 6 x 4 = 12

Therefore, 24 ÷ 3 x 7 = 56
