If '-' stands for division, '+' for multiplication, `'-:` for subtraction and `'xx'` for addition, which one of the following equations is correct

Options

A. `18 -: 3 xx 2 + 8 - 6 = 10`
B. `18 - 3 + 2 xx 8 -:6 =14`
C. `18 - 3 -: 2 xx 8 + 6 = 17`
D. `18 xx 3 + 2 -: 8 - 6 = 15`

Answer

B

Explanation

Option (1)
`18 -: 3 xx 2 + 8 - 6 = 10`
After conversion
`18 - 3 + 2 xx8 -: 6 = 10`
or, `18 - 3 + 2xx8/6 = 10`
or, `18 - 3 +8/3 ne10`
Option (2)
`18 - 3 + 2xx8 -: 6 = 14`
After conversion
`18-: 3 xx 2 + 8 - 6 = 14`
or, `6 xx 2 + 8 - 6 = 14`
or, `12 + 8 - 6 = 14`
or, `20-6 = 14`
or, `14 = 14`
