If "+" stands for 'subtraction' and "÷" stands for 'addition' and "-" stands for 'multiplication' and "×" stands for division, then which of the following equations is correct? Correct Answer 8 ÷ 44 - 5 + 25 = 203

Symbol

+

÷

-

×

Meaning

-

+

×

÷

 

1) 56 + 12 × 34 - 12 = 102

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 56 - 12 ÷ 34 × 12

= 56 – 4.23

= 51.77 ≠ R.H.S 

2) 8 ÷ 44 - 5 + 25 = 203

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 8 + 44 × 5 - 25

= 8 + 220 – 25

= 228 – 25

= 203 = R.H.S

3) 112 × 44 - 12 + 10 = 46

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get: 

L.H.S = 112 ÷ 44 × 12 - 10

= 2.54 × 12 – 10

= 30.54 – 10

= 20.54 ≠ R.H.S

4) 9 ÷ 64 - 2 × 6 = 54

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 9 + 64 × 2 ÷ 6

= 9 + 21.33

= 30.33 ≠ R.H.S

Hence, ‘option 2’ is the correct answer.
