Correct Answer :

Option A

11

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 1 (11).

We are given the following equation:

73-27×9+5÷13=?

According to the instructions, we need to interchange the operators as follows:

1. Interchange '+' and '−' (replace '-' with '+' and '+' with '-')
2. Interchange '×' and '÷' (replace '×' with '÷' and '÷' with '×')

After substituting these signs, the new equation becomes:

73+27÷9-5×13=?

Now, we evaluate the expression using the standard BODMAS (Brakets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) rule:

Step 1: Perform Division

27÷9=3

Substitute this back into the expression:

73+3-5×13

Step 2: Perform Multiplication

5×13=65

Substitute this back into the expression:

73+3-65

Step 3: Perform Addition

73+3=76

Now the expression is:

76-65

Step 4: Perform Subtraction

76-65=11

Thus, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 11.
