Question : 21 [S.S.C. (CGL) 2013]

If ‘-‘ stands for 'addition', '÷’  for 'multiplication', ‘×’ for 'subtraction' and ‘+' for 'division', then which of the following is correct?

a) 25 × 12 - 14 ÷ 4 + 6 = 16

b) 25 – 12 + 14 ÷ 2 × 4 = 15

c) 25 – 15 + 5 ÷ 4 × 16 = 21

d) 25 + 11 – 4 ÷ 10 × 6 = 20

Answer: (c)

From option (c),

25 + 15 ÷ 5 × 4 - 16 = 21 (using VBODMAS rule)

⇒ 25 + 3 × 4 - 16 = 21

⇒ 25 + 12 - 16 = 21

⇒ 37 - 16 = 21

⇒ 21 = 21

LHS = RHS

So, option (c) is correct.
