    Interchange '-' to '+' and 2 to 6 and try

    Correct Option: B

    On interchanging '-' to '+' and 2 to 6
    4 x 2 + 6 = 14
    ⇒ 8 + 6 = 14
    ⇒ 14 = 14

    On interchanging signs 'x' to '-' and 2 to 3
    (6 ÷ 3) - 2 = 0
    ⇒ 2 - 2 = 0
    ⇒ 0 = 0

    Correct Option: C

    On interchanging signs 'x' to '-' and 2 to 3
    (6 ÷ 3) - 2 = 0
    ⇒ 2 - 2 = 0
    ⇒ 0 = 0



  1. (3 ÷ 4) + 2 = 2

    On interchanging signs '+' to '÷' and 2 to 3
    (2 + 4) ÷ 3 = 2
    ⇒ 6 ÷ 3 = 2 ⇒ 2 = 2

    Correct Option: C

    On interchanging signs '+' to '÷' and 2 to 3
    (2 + 4) ÷ 3 = 2
    ⇒ 6 ÷ 3 = 2 ⇒ 2 = 2


Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions. If '+' is coded as 'π' , 'x' is coded as '≠' , '÷' is coded as '$' and '-' is coded as Δ, then what is the value of the following ?

  1. 2 ≠ 7 Δ 4

    Given, 2 ≠ 7 Δ 4
    After interchanging the signs,
    2 x 7 - 4
    Apply the BODMAS Rule

    Correct Option: D

    Given, 2 ≠ 7 Δ 4
    After interchanging the signs,
    2 x 7 - 4
    Apply the BODMAS Rule
    2 x 7 - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10.



Direction: Correct the following equations by interchanging the two signs.

  1. 32 x 2 2 ÷ (62 - 9) + 12 = 33

    Lets try all options one by one.

    Correct Option: A

    If we interchange symbols '-' and '÷', the equation becomes
    9 x 4 - (36 ÷ 9) + 1
    = 9 x 4 - 36/9 + 1
    = 36 - 4 + 1
    = 33
