    The document discusses mathematical operations questions that may appear in exams. It provides examples of four types of mathematical operations questions: 1) Symbol substitution questions where mathematical symbols are replaced, 2) Balancing equation questions where signs are changed to balance equations, 3) Interchanging signs and numbers questions where positions of signs and numbers are swapped, and 4) Trick-based questions that use multiplication relationships. The document also provides practice examples of questions from these four types and explains the solutions.

    MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS

    Mathematical operations:

    In this type, you are provided with substitutes for


    various mathematical symbols, followed by a
    question involving calculation of an expression or
    choosing the correct / incorrect equation. The
    candidate is required to put in the real signs in the
    given equation and then solve the questions as
    required. Note: - While solving a mathematical
    expression, proceed according to the rule

    BODMAS – i.e. Brackets, Of, Division,


    Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
    Different types of questions covered in this topic
    are as follows:

     Symbol Substitution
     Balancing the Equation
     Interchange of Signs and Numbers
     Trick Based Mathematical Operations

    Note: While solving a mathematical expression,


    proceed according to the rule BODMAS — i.e.,
    Brackets, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition,
    Subtraction
    Type 1: Symbol Substitution

    Example: if × means -, ÷ means +, + means ×,


    then 18 × 5 ÷ 5 +6 is equal to
    A. 58 B. 49 C. 43 D. 37

    Solution: C
    Change of symbols according to the question,
    18 × 5 ÷ 5 + 6 = 18 – 5 + 5 × 6
    18 – 5 + 30 = (18 + 30) = 43
    Type 2: Balancing the Equation
    Example: If the following equations has to be balance,
    then the signs of which of the following options will be
    used?
    24 6 12 16 = 0
    A. -, + and +
    B. ÷, + and ÷
    C. -, - and -
    D. ÷, + and –

    Solution: (d)
    24÷6+12-16 = 4+12-16
    =16-16=0=RHS
    Type 3: Interchange of Signs and
    Numbers
    Example: Which one of the given interchange in signs would make
    the given equation correct?
    10– 2 +9 × 2 ÷ 4 = 19
    A. - and ÷
    B. - and +
    C. ÷ and ×
    D. × and ÷

    Solution: (a)
    Let us check the options one by one
    From option (a), If we replace – by ÷ and ÷ by- we get,
    10÷2+9×2-4
    =5+18-4(BODMAS)
    =19
    Type 4: Trick Based Mathematical
    Operations
    Example: If 9 × 5 × 2 = 529 and 4 × 7 × 2 = 724, then 3 × 9 × 8 =?
    A. 983
    B. 839
    C. 938
    D. 893

    Solution: (a)
    Practice Examples

    1. If × stands for 'addition', ÷ stands for


    'subtraction', + stands for 'multiplication' and -
