if '+' becomes 'divide' and 'x' becomes '+' then what will be the value of `{(36 + 6) + 6} xx 12` ?

Options

A. a) 12
B. b) 6
C. c) 13
D. d) 21

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we need to replace the operations according to the given instructions and then calculate the result.

### Step 1: Understand the operation changes
According to the problem:
- '+' becomes 'divide'
- 'x' (multiplication) becomes '+'

### Step 2: Rewrite the expression
The original expression is:
\[ \{(36 + 6) + 6\} \times 12 \]
After applying the changes:
\[ \{(36 \div 6) + 6\} + 12 \]

### Step 3: Solve the inner bracket first
Now we need to solve the expression inside the curly brackets:
\[ (36 \div 6) \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ 6 \]

### Step 4: Substitute back into the expression
Now substitute this value back into the expression:
\[ \{6 + 6\} + 12 \]

### Step 5: Solve the addition inside the curly brackets
Now calculate:
\[ 6 + 6 = 12 \]

### Step 6: Substitute back into the expression
Now substitute this back into the expression:
\[ 12 + 12 \]

### Step 7: Final calculation
Now calculate the final addition:
\[ 12 + 12 = 24 \]

### Final Answer
The value of the expression is:
\[ \boxed{24} \]
