Correct Answer: 131


Solution : Given:
+ means –, – means ×, × means ÷, ÷ means +
23 – 5 ÷ 240 × 8 + 14 = ?

After interchanging the given mathematical signs, we get –
⇒ 23 × 5 + 240 ÷ 8 – 14
⇒ 23 × 5 + 30 – 14
⇒ 115 + 30 – 14
= 131

So, 131 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
