Subtraction : M,

Multiplication : A,

Division : Q,

Equal to : X,

Greater than : Y,

Less than : Z,

Then answer the following question:

• A. 1 O 1 Q 1 M 1 Y 3 Q 1
• B. 2 Q 1 O 20 A 1 Z 6 A 4
• C. 3 O 2 O 10 Q 2 X 10 A 2
• D. 5 Q 5 A 5 O 5 Y 5 A 2

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

2 Q 1 O 20 A 1 Z 6 A 4

Option A:

1 O 1 Q 1 M 1 Y 3 Q 1

Using the given notations, we get

$1+1÷1-1>3÷1$

$\Rightarrow 1>3\to$ False

Option B:

2 Q 1 O 20 A 1 Z 6 A 4

Using the given notations, we get

$2÷1+20\times 1<6\times 4$

$\Rightarrow 22<24\to$ True

Option C:

3 O 2 O 10 Q 2 X 10 A 2

Using the given notations, we get

$3+2+10÷2=10\times 2$

$\Rightarrow 10=20\to$ False

Option D:

5 Q 5 A 5 O 5 Y 5 A 2

Using the given notations, we get

$5÷5\times 5+5>5\times 2$

$\Rightarrow 10>10\to$ False

Hence, option B.
