Correct Answer :

Option D

39

39

Solution :

The correct option is 39.

To find the value that comes in place of the question mark, we substitute the mathematical operators according to the rules given in the question:

- "+" is replaced by "-"
- "-" is replaced by "x"
- "x" is replaced by "��"
- "÷" is replaced by "+"

The original equation is:

7-24×6÷18+7=?

Applying the operator substitutions, we get the modified expression:

7×24÷6+18-7

Now, we solve this expression step-by-step using the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction from left to right):

Step 1: Division
First, divide 24 by 6:
24÷6=4

Substitute this back into the expression:
7×4+18-7

Step 2: Multiplication
Next, multiply 7 by 4:
7×4=28

Substitute this back into the expression:
28+18-7

Step 3: Addition
Add 28 and 18:
28+18=46

Substitute this back into the expression:
46-7

Step 4: Subtraction
Finally, subtract 7 from 46:
46-7=39

Thus, the final value is 39.
