Correct Answer: 123


Solution : Given:
+ means −, − means ×, × means ÷ and ÷ means +
79 ÷ 64 × 8 − 7 + 12 = ?

After interchanging the given mathematical signs, we get –
⇒ 79 + 64 ÷ 8 × 7 – 12
⇒ 79 + 8 × 7 – 12
⇒ 79 + 56 – 12
= 123

So, 123 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
