Correct Answer: 25 – 15 + 5 ÷ 4 × 16 = 21


Solution : Let's check the options —

First option: 25 – 15 + 5 ÷ 4 × 16 = 21;

After replacing the symbols as per the code language, the equation becomes 25 + 15 ÷ 5 × 4 – 16 = 21. So, this relation holds true.

Second option: 25 + 11 – 4 ÷ 10 × 6 = 20;

After replacing the symbols as per the code language, the equation becomes 25 ÷ 11 × 4 – 10 + 6 = 50.09 which is not equal to 20. So, the relation does not hold true.

Third option: 25 × 12 – 14 ÷ 4 + 6 = 16;

After replacing the symbols as per the code language, the equation becomes 25 – 12 + 14 × 4 ÷ 6 = 22.33 which is not equal to 16. So, the relation does not hold true.

Fourth option: 25 – 12 + 14 ÷ 2 × 4 = 15;

After replacing the symbols as per the code language, the equation becomes 25 + 12 ÷ 14 × 2 – 4 = 22.71 which is not equal to 15. So, the relation does not hold true.

Hence, the first option is correct.
