If '+' means ' ÷ ' , ' − ' means '+', ' × ' means '-' and ' ÷ ' means ' ×' then `50 + 5 xx 100 - 2 div 40 xx 250` = ?

Options

A. -260
B. 125
C. 500
D. 0

Answer

A

Explanation

According to the question
(i)` 50 + 10= 500.` But actually `50 xx 10 = 500`
So, .+. means `.xx.`
(ii) `20 - 4 = 50` But, actually `200 div 4 = 50` So, .-. means `.div.`
(iii) `75 xx 5 = 70` But, actually `75 - 5 = 70 So, .xx.` means .-.
(iv) `25 div 10 = 35` But, actually `25 + 10 = 35 So, .+.` means .+.
The given expression is `50 + 5 xx 100 - 2 div 50 xx 250`
Using the proper signs, we get
`50 xx 5 - 100 div 2 + 50 - 250`
Using BODMAS RULE, we get
`50 xx 5 - 50 + 50 - 250 = 250 - 50 + 50 - 250 = 300 - 50 - 250 = 300 - 300 =0`
Therefore, the value of the given expression = 0
