Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

33

33

Solution :

The correct option is 33.

To find the value that comes in place of '?', we need to follow the interchanging instructions given in the question:


- Interchange '+' and '–' (replace '+' with '–' and vice versa)


- Interchange '×' and '÷' (replace '×' with '÷' and vice versa)


The original equation is:

5-4÷9+80×10=?

Applying the interchanges, the new equation becomes:

5+4*9-80÷10=?

Now, we solve this mathematical expression step-by-step using the BODMAS rule (Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction):


Step 1: Division


First, perform the division operation (80÷10):

80÷10=8

Substitute this back into the equation:

5+4×9-8=?


Step 2: Multiplication


Next, perform the multiplication operation (4×9):

4×9=36

Substitute this back into the equation:

5+36-8=?


Step 3: Addition


Now, perform the addition operation (5+36):

5+36=41

Substitute this back into the equation:

41-8=?


Step 4: Subtraction


Finally, perform the subtraction operation (41-8):

41-8=33

Therefore, the value in place of '?' is 33.
