Question

What will come in the place of '?' in the following equation, if '+' and '-' are interchanged and also 'x' and '$\div$' are interchanged?
$13 \div 8-96 \times 6+17=?$

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
103

To solve the given expression, we need to interchange the operations as specified: '+' with '-', and '×' with '$\div$'. The given equation is:

13 \div 8 - 96 \times 6 + 17 = ?

After interchanging the operations, the expression becomes:

13 \times 8 + 96 \div 6 - 17 = ?

We will solve it step-by-step, following the BODMAS/BIDMAS rule (Bracket, Order, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction):

  1. First, perform the operations involving multiplication and division from left to right:
  2. 13 \times 8 = 104
  3. 96 \div 6 = 16

The equation becomes:

104 + 16 - 17

  1. Next, perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
  2. 104 + 16 = 120
  3. 120 - 17 = 103

Thus, the result after interchanging the signs and solving is 103.

Conclusion: The correct option is 103.
