Operator Substitution Rules:
- The symbol '+' is interpreted as division ($\div$).
- The symbol '-' is interpreted as addition (+).
- The symbol '$\times$' is interpreted as subtraction (-).
- The symbol '$\div$' is interpreted as multiplication ($\times$).
Option C Analysis
The given equation for Option C is:
$6 \times 16 + 2 \div 4 - 3 = 14 + 7 \div 4 - 2$
Substitute the operators based on the rules:
- $6 \times 16$ becomes $6 - 16$
- $+ 2$ becomes $\div 2$
- $\div 4$ becomes $\times 4$
- $- 3$ becomes $+ 3$
And for the right side:
- $+ 7$ becomes $\div 7$
- $\div 4$ becomes $\times 4$
- $- 2$ becomes $+ 2$
The substituted equation is:
$6 - 16 \div 2 + 4 + 3 = 14 + 7 \times 4 + 2$
Evaluating the Left Side (LS)
The expression for the Left Side is: $6 - 16 \div 2 + 4 + 3$
-
Applying BODMAS rule, division is performed first: $16 \div 2 = 8$.
The expression becomes: $6 - 8 + 4 + 3$.
-
Next, perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$6 - 8 = -2$
$-2 + 4 = 2$
$2 + 3 = 5$
Thus, LS = 5.
Evaluating the Right Side (RS)
The expression for the Right Side is: $14 + 7 \times 4 + 2$
-
Applying BODMAS rule, multiplication is performed first: $7 \times 4 = 28$.
The expression becomes: $14 + 28 + 2$.
-
Next, perform addition from left to right:
$14 + 28 = 42$
$42 + 2 = 44$
Thus, RS = 44.
