Correct answer
13
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
Sign Interchange:
| Original Sign | New Sign |
|---|---|
| + | × |
| × | + |
| − | ÷ |
| ÷ | − |
Given Equation: 8 + 3 ÷ 116 − 4 × 18
After interchanging the signs, and following BODMAS rule,
= 8 × 3 − 116 ÷ 4 + 18
Step-by-step solution:
= 8 × 3 − 29 + 18
= 24 + 18 − 29
= 42 − 29
= 13
Hence, the correct answer is "option 3"

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(156, 204, 366)
(150, 162, 318)
(142, 165, 307)
(182, 164, 352)
(204, 101, 309)
(172, 141, 317)
Correct answer
(182, 164, 352)
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: (First Number + Second Number) + 6 = Third Number
For the first set (156, 204, 366)
⇒ (156 + 204) + 6
⇒ 360 + 6 = 366.
For the second set (150, 162, 318)
⇒ (150 + 162) + 6
⇒ 312 + 6 = 318.
Applying the same logic to Option 2
(182, 164, 352)
⇒ (182 + 164) + 6
⇒ 346 + 6 = 352.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
