Solution :

The correct option is 5.


Given Equation:

66×1126+3÷9=?


Interchange Rules:

1. The signs + and are interchanged with each other.

2. The signs × and ÷ are interchanged with each other.


Step-by-Step Calculation:

Substituting the new signs into the given equation, we get:

66÷11+263×9=?


Now, solve the equation following the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction):


Step 1: Perform Division

66÷11=6

The equation becomes:

6+263×9


Step 2: Perform Multiplication

3×9=27

The equation becomes:

6+2627


Step 3: Perform Addition

6+26=32

The equation becomes:

3227


Step 4: Perform Subtraction

3227=5


Thus, the value that replaces '?' in the equation is 5.
