Correct Answer: 27


Solution : Given:
+ means −, − means ×, × means ÷, and ÷ means +.
24 − 20 × 12 + 18 ÷ 5

On interchanging the symbols in the above equation, we get –
= 24 × 20 ÷ 12 − 18 + 5
= 40 − 18 + 5
= 45 − 18
= 27

So, 27 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
