PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
35

Given the expression: 7 + 5 ÷ 3 − 12 × 4

According to the given conditions:

  • '+' means 'x'
  • 'x' means '÷'
  • '÷' means '-'
  • '-' means '+'

Substituting these operations in the given expression, we get:

7 × 5 - 3 + 12 ÷ 4

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we perform division first:

7 × 5 - 3 + 3

Next, we perform multiplication:

35 - 3 + 3

Finally, we perform addition and subtraction from left to right:

32 + 3 = 35

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 35.
