Division: $Q$, Equal to: $X$, Greater than: $Y$, Less than: $Z$

Out of the four alternatives given in these question, which one is correct?

• A. $32X8Q2A3Q1A2$
• B. $10X2A3A2M2Q1$
• C. $2Y1A1Q1O1A1$
• D. $16Y8Q3O1Q2M2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$10X2A3A2M2Q1$

Using the proper notations,

Option A:

$32=8÷2\times 3÷1\times 2$

$32\ne 4\times 3\times 1$ Not True

Option B:

$10=2\times 3\times 2-2÷1$

$10=12-2=10$ True

Option C:

$2>1\times 1÷1+1\times 1$

$2>1+1$

$2>2$ Not true

Option D:

$16>8÷3+1÷2-2$

$16>\frac{8}{3}+\frac{1}{2}-2$

$16>\frac{7}{6}$ Not True

Only option B evaluates to True.
