Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

118

Solution :

The correct option is 118.


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

+ means -
- means ×
× means ÷
÷ means +


Original Equation:

8-21×3÷75+13=?


Substituted Equation:

8×21÷3+75-13


Now, we evaluate the expression step-by-step using the BODMAS/PEMDAS rule (Division and Multiplication first, followed by Addition and Subtraction):


Step 1: Perform Division

21÷3=7

The expression becomes:

8×7+75-13


Step 2: Perform Multiplication

8×7=56

The expression becomes:

56+75-13


Step 3: Perform Addition

56+75=131

The expression becomes:

131-13


Step 4: Perform Subtraction

131-13=118


Hence, the value coming in place of the question mark (?) is 118.
