Question : Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols.
14 * 2 * 4 * 6 * 4
Option 1: ×, ÷, >, ×
Option 2: ÷, ×, >, ×
Option 3: ÷, +, =, ×
Option 4: ÷, +, >, ×
Correct Answer: ÷, ×, >, ×
Solution :
Given:
14 * 2 * 4 * 6 * 4
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one.
Let's check the options –
First option:
×, ÷, >, ×
⇒ 14 × 2 ÷ 4 > 6 × 4
⇒ 14 × 0.5 > 24
⇒ 7 > 24
This is not true because 7 is not greater than 24.
Second option:
÷, ×, >, ×
⇒ 14 ÷ 2 × 4 > 6 × 4
⇒ 7 × 4 > 24
⇒ 28 > 24
This is true because 28 is greater than 24.
Third option:
÷, +, =, ×
⇒ 14 ÷ 2 + 4 > 6 × 4
⇒ 7 + 4 > 24
⇒ 11 = 24
But 11 ≠ 24, so this is not true.
Fourth option:
÷, +, >, ×
⇒ 14 ÷ 2 + 4 > 6 × 4
⇒ 7 + 4 > 24
⇒ 11 > 24
This is not true because 11 is not greater than 24.
So, only the second option satisfies the given condition. Hence, the second option is correct.
