If '+' means subtraction, '÷' means addition, '<' means multiplication and '>' means division, then find the value of the given statement,

The value of 9 ÷ 7 < 8> (4>2) + 5 will be

  • A.32
  • B.18
  • C.16
  • D.11

Answer: A

Correct answer: 32

Replace each symbol by the operation it means: \( + \to - \), \( \div \to + \), \( \lt \to \times \), \( \gt \to \div \). The expression \( 9 \div 7 \lt 8 \gt (4 \gt 2) + 5 \) therefore reads \( 9 + 7 \times 8 \div (4 \div 2) - 5 \).

Working the bracket first, then BODMAS: \[ 9 + 7 \times 8 \div 2 - 5 = 9 + 28 - 5 = \mathbf{32} \]
