If 689 $ 32 ! 16 = 691 and 697 $ 100 ! 10 = 707, then what is the value of 299 $ 39 ! 13?

SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

302

We are told that the symbols $ and ! stand for hidden arithmetic operations, and we must decode them from the two sample equations.

Take the first example: 689 $ 32 ! 16 = 691. Notice that dividing 32 by 16 gives 2, and 689 + 2 = 691.

Check with the second example: 697 $ 100 ! 10 = 707. Here 100 divided by 10 is 10, and 697 + 10 = 707, which matches.

So the rule is: first number + (second number divided by third number).

In symbols, A $ B ! C means A + (B divided by C).

Apply this to 299 $ 39 ! 13: first compute 39 divided by 13, which equals 3.

Now add: 299 + 3 = 302.

Therefore the value of the expression is 302, matching the second option. The correct answer is 302.
