Question

If '$+$' stands for 'division', '$÷$' stands for 'multiplication', '$\times$' stands for 'subtraction and '$-$' stands for 'addition', then which one of the following equations is correct ?

• A. $18÷6\times 7+5-2=22$
• B. $18\times 6+7÷5-2=16$
• C. $18÷6-7+5\times 2=20$
• D. $18+6÷7\times 5-2=18$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $18+6÷7\times 5-2=18$

$18+6÷7\times 5-2=18$
After changing the sign according to the figure
$18÷6\times 7-5+2=18$
$3\times 7-5+2=18$
$21-5+2=18$
$16+2=18$
$18=18$

Since $LHS=RHS$

Ans : Option $D$
