Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

29

Solution :

The correct option is 29.

To find the value of the given expression, we substitute the mathematical operations according to the rules provided in the question:

- Multiplication (×) is replaced by Division (÷)

- Subtraction () is replaced by Multiplication (×)

- Division (÷) is replaced by Addition (+)

- Addition (+) is replaced by Subtraction ()

The original expression is:

20×57÷4+3

Substituting the operations as defined, the expression becomes:

20÷5×7+43

Now, we evaluate the expression using the BODMAS rules (performing Division, Multiplication, Addition, and then Subtraction in order):

First, perform the division:

20÷5=4

Substituting this value back gives:

4×7+43

Next, perform the multiplication:

4×7=28

Substituting this value back gives:

28+43

Next, perform the addition:

28+4=32

Finally, perform the subtraction:

323=29

Therefore, the final value of the expression is 29.
