Correct Answer :

Option B

10

Solution :

The correct option is 10.

To solve this equation, we first need to substitute the mathematical operations according to the given rules:

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

The given equation is:

168×148+90÷4=?

Replacing the operators with their new meanings, we get the modified equation:

168÷14×890+4=?

Now, follow the BODMAS/PEMDAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) to solve step-by-step:

Step 1: Perform Division
Divide 168 by 14:

168÷14=12

Substitute this back into the equation:

12×890+4

Step 2: Perform Multiplication
Multiply 12 by 8:

12×8=96

Substitute this back into the equation:

9690+4

Step 3: Perform Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Subtract 90 from 96:

9690=6

Finally, add 4 to 6:

6+4=10

Therefore, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 10.
