Question

What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?

101 ÷ 48 − 13013 × 13 + 12 = ?

Accepted Answer

Given expression: 101 ÷ 48 − 13013 × 13 + 12

Interchange '+' and '−', and '×' and '÷'. So:
'+' becomes '−'
'−' becomes '+'
'×' becomes '÷'
'÷' becomes '×'

Rewrite the expression with these changes:
101 × 48 + 13013 ÷ 13 − 12

Now solve step-by-step following BODMAS:

1) 101 × 48 = 4848
2) 13013 ÷ 13 = 1001

Expression becomes:
4848 + 1001 − 12

3) 4848 + 1001 = 5849
4) 5849 − 12 = 5837

Therefore, the value of the expression after interchanging the operators is 5837.
