If the numbers 1 and 2 are interchanged, 3 and 4 change places and also the symbols x and ÷, then find the value of 1 + 3 x 2 ÷ 4.
Correct Answer:
C. 14
Explanation:
To solve the expression 1 + 3 x 2 ÷ 4 based on the given rules, follow these steps: - Update the Numbers: Replace 1 with 2, 2 with 1, 3 with 4, and 4 with 3.
- Update the Operators: Swap the multiplication (x) and division (÷) symbols. The addition (+) symbol remains the same.
- New Expression: The modified expression becomes 2 + 4 ÷ 1 x 3.
- Apply Order of Operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS):
- First, perform the division: 4 ÷ 1 = 4.
- Next, perform the multiplication: 4 x 3 = 12.
- Finally, perform the addition: 2 + 12 = 14.The correct value is 14, which corresponds to option C.
