Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

72

Solution :

The correct answer is 72.

To solve this expression, we first need to substitute the original mathematical operators with the new operators as defined in the question rules:

+ means × (multiplication)
- means ÷ (division)
× means + (addition)
÷ means - (subtraction)

The original given expression is:

12+6×4-2÷2

Replacing the operators accordingly, we get the modified expression:

12×6+4÷2-2

Now, we evaluate the modified expression using the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rule: Division and Multiplication from left to right, followed by Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

Step 1: Perform Division

First, divide 4 by 2:

4÷2=2

Substituting back into the expression:

12×6+2-2

Step 2: Perform Multiplication

Next, multiply 12 by 6:

12×6=72

Substituting back into the expression:

72+2-2

Step 3: Perform Addition and Subtraction

Add 72 and 2:

72+2=74

Finally, subtract 2:

74-2=72

Thus, the final value of the expression is 72.
