If + means −, − means ×, × means ÷ and ÷ means +, what is the value of the following expression?
8 – 2 + 6 × 3 ÷ 5
20
21
19
23
Correct answer
19
Why this answer is correct
Given Equation: 8 – 2 + 6 × 3 ÷ 5 = ?
BODMAS Rule:
Decoding the given information:
| Symbol | + | – | × | ÷ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | − | × | ÷ | + |
Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:
⇒ 8 × 2 − 6 ÷ 3 + 5 = ?
⇒ 8 × 2 − 2 + 5 = ?
⇒ 16 − 2 + 5 = ?
⇒ 21 − 2 = 19.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

How many triangles are there in the given figure ?
28
25
32
23
Correct answer
23
Why this answer is correct
The number of triangles in the given figure is shown below:
= [2 × (1 + 2)] ÷ 2
= [2 × 3] ÷ 2
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
2) Number of triangles = (Number of parts × Number of diagonals)
= 4 × 2 ⇒ 8
Here, as there are two same parts, therefore '8 + 8' = 16 triangles
3) Number of triangles as marked = 4
Thus, total number of triangles are 3 + 16 + 4 = 23
Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165
= ÷ ×− +
÷ ×− + =
× ÷ − + =
÷ × + − =
Correct answer
÷ ×− + =
Why this answer is correct
Given: 658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165
According to the question, after replacing the signs:
Option 1) = ÷ ×− +
658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165 ⇒ 658 = 14 ÷ 3 × 32 - 56 + 165
⇒ 658 = 14 ÷ 3 × 32 - 56 + 165
⇒ 658 = 4.67 × 32 - 56 + 165
⇒ 658 = 149.44 + 165 - 56
⇒ 658 = 314.44 - 56
⇒ 658 ≠ 258.44 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 2) ÷ ×− + =
658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165 ⇒ 658 ÷ 14 × 3 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 658 ÷ 14 × 3 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 47 × 3 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 141 + 56 - 32 = 165
⇒ 197 - 32 = 165
⇒ 165 = 165 (LHS = RHS)
Option 3) × ÷ − + =
658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165 ⇒ 658 × 14 ÷ 3 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 658 × 14 ÷ 3 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 658 × 4.67 - 32 + 56 = 165
⇒ 3072.86 + 56 - 32 = 165
⇒ 3128.86 - 32 = 165
⇒ 3096.86 ≠ 165 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 4) ÷ × + − =
658 * 14 * 3 * 32 * 56 * 165 ⇒ 658 ÷ 14 × 3 + 32 - 56 = 165
⇒ 658 ÷ 14 × 3 + 32 - 56 = 165
⇒ 47 × 3 + 32 - 56 = 165
⇒ 141 + 32 - 56 = 165
⇒ 173 - 56 = 165
⇒ 117 ≠ 165 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the series were to be continued?

The rest of the elements shift clockwise subsequently.
2) Second box series →
The 1st row elements shift clockwise subsequently.
The 2nd row elements shift clockwise subsequently.
No change in the bottom element.
Thus, the final series is:
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65
÷ and ×
− and ÷
− and +
Correct answer
− and ÷
Why this answer is correct
Given: 36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65
According to the question, after interchanging the signs:
Option 1) + and ×
36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65 ⇒ 36 - 9 + 15 × 8 ÷ 3 = 65
⇒ 36 - 9 + 15 × 8 ÷ 3 = 65
⇒ 36 - 9 + 15 × 2.67 = 65
⇒ 36 + 40 - 9 = 65
⇒ 76 - 9 = 65
⇒ 67 ≠ 65 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 2) ÷ and ×
36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65 ⇒ 36 - 9 ÷ 15 + 8 × 3 = 65
⇒ 36 - 9 ÷ 15 + 8 × 3 = 65
⇒ 36 - 0.6 + 8 × 3 = 65
⇒ 36 + 24 - 0.6 = 65
⇒ 60 - 0.6 = 65
⇒ 59.4 ≠ 65 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 3) − and ÷
36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65 ⇒ 36 ÷ 9 × 15 + 8 - 3 = 65
⇒ 36 ÷ 9 × 15 + 8 - 3 = 65
⇒ 4 × 15 + 8 - 3 = 65
⇒ 60 + 8 - 3 = 65
⇒ 68 - 3 = 65
⇒ 65 = 65 (LHS = RHS)
Option 4) − and +
36 - 9 × 15 + 8 ÷ 3 = 65 ⇒ 36 + 9 × 15 - 8 ÷ 3 = 65
⇒ 36 + 9 × 15 - 8 ÷ 3 = 65
⇒ 36 + 9 × 15 - 2.67 = 65
⇒ 36 + 135 - 2.67 = 65
⇒ 271 - 2.67 = 65
⇒ 268.33 ≠ 65 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
