Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

18÷6+3=21

Solution :

The correct option is 18÷6+3=21.

To determine which equation becomes correct, we need to replace the given operators according to the specified instructions:

• '+' stands for '-'
• '-' stands for '×'
• '×' stands for '÷'
• '÷' stands for '+'

Let's verify the correct option by substituting the operators into the expression on the left-hand side (LHS):

Given equation:

18÷6+3=21

Substitute '÷' with '+' and '+' with '-':

LHS=18+6-3

Now, perform the operations from left to right according to BODMAS rules:

First, add 18 and 6:

18+6=24

Next, subtract 3 from 24:

24-3=21

Since LHS = RHS (21=21), this equation becomes mathematically correct.
