Correct Answer :

Option D

226

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 4: 226.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We are given the mathematical equation:

105÷2+4120×6=?

According to the instructions given in the question, we need to swap the operators as follows:

1. Swap '+' and '−' (Replace '+' with '−', and '−' with '+')
2. Swap '×' and '÷' (Replace '×' with '÷', and '÷' with '×')

After interchanging the operators, the new equation becomes:

105×24+120÷6=?

Now, we simplify the expression following the standard order of operations (BODMAS / PEMDAS rule: Division and Multiplication first from left to right, followed by Addition and Subtraction):

Step 1: Perform Division and Multiplication

105×2=210

120÷6=20

Substitute these values back into the equation:

2104+20=?

Step 2: Perform Addition and Subtraction from left to right

2104=206

206+20=226

Thus, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 226.
