What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘–’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
16÷6+12×3−6=?

  1. A
    94
  2. B
    98
  3. C
    92
  4. D
    96

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to the problem statement, we need to interchange the operators as follows:
÷⟷×

+⟷−

Let's rewrite the given expression with the new operators:

Original expression: 16÷6+12×3−6
Modified expression: 16×6−12÷3+6
Now, applying the BODMAS rule:

Division:

12÷3=4
The expression becomes: 16×6−4+6

Multiplication:

16×6=96
The expression becomes: 96−4+6

Addition and Subtraction:

96+6−4=102−4=98
Therefore, the correct answer is 98.
