Q5DSSSB TGT Computer Science, 25 Jun 2023, Shift 1 (8:30 AM)
Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct? 105 ÷ 21 + 67 − 64 × 16 = 287
  1. A÷ and ×
  2. B× and +
  3. C+ and −
  4. D× and −
Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (B) × and +

Explanation

Swap × and +: 105 ÷ 21 × 67 − 64 + 16 = 5 × 67 − 64 + 16 = 335 − 64 + 16 = 287.

Q6DSSSB TGT Computer Science, 24 Jun 2023, Shift 3 (4:30 PM)
Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct? 234 ÷ 18 + 47 − 14 × 18 = 653
  1. A+ and −
  2. B÷ and ×
  3. C× and −
  4. D÷ and +
Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (C) × and −

Explanation

Interchanging × and − gives 234 ÷ 18 + 47 × 14 − 18 = 13 + 658 − 18 = 653, so the equation balances.

Q7DSSSB TGT Computer Science, 7 Feb 2024, Shift 2 (12:30 PM)
If ‘÷’ means ‘×’, ‘–’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘÷’ and ‘+’ means ‘–’, then 38 × 57 ÷ 9 – 18 + 12 = ?
  1. A10
  2. B12
  3. C6
  4. D7
Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (B) 12

Explanation

After swapping the signs the expression becomes 38 ÷ 57 × 9 + 18 − 12. 38/57 × 9 = 6, then 6 + 18 − 12 = 12.
