If ‘-‘ stands for ‘÷’, ‘+’ stands for ‘×’, ‘÷’ stand for ‘-‘ and ‘×’ stands for ‘+’, which one of the following question is correct?

  • A.30 - 6 + 5 × 4 ÷ 2 = 27.
  • B.30 + 6 - 5 ÷ 4 × 2 = 30.
  • C.30 × 6 ÷ 5 - 4 + 2 = 32.
  • D.30 ÷ 6 × 5 + 4 - 2 = 40

Answer: A

Correct answer: 30 – 6 + 5 × 4 ÷ 2 = 27.

Substituting in this option gives \[ 30 \div 6 \times 5 + 4 - 2. \] Taking the divide and multiply first: \( 30\div6 = 5 \), \( 5\times5 = 25 \). Then \( 25 + 4 - 2 = 27 \), which matches the stated value. The other three fail once their symbols are replaced.
