Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

794

Solution :

The correct answer is 794.


To solve the given mathematical expression, we first need to substitute the arithmetic operators according to the rules specified in the question:

• '+' means '−'
• '−' means '×'
• '×' means '÷'
• '÷' means '+'


The original equation is:

846÷371+648×8=?


Substituting the operators as per the given instructions, we get:

84×6+371648÷8


Now, we simplify the expression using the BODMAS / PEMDAS rule (Division and Multiplication from left to right, followed by Addition and Subtraction):


Step 1: Perform Division

648÷8=81


Substitute this value back into the expression:

84×6+37181


Step 2: Perform Multiplication

84×6=504


Substitute this value back into the expression:

504+37181


Step 3: Perform Addition

504+371=875


Step 4: Perform Subtraction

87581=794


Thus, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 794.
