Question

If 'when' means ' x ', 'you' means ' ÷ ', 'come' means '-' and 'will' means '+', then what will be the value of `` 8 when 12 will 16 you 2 come 10" = ?

• A. 45
• B. 94
• C. 96
• D. 112

Hint:

When dealing with word-to-symbol substitutions, carefully follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) to ensure accurate results.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: First, we substitute the given meanings into the expression: 
- ``when" means ``x", so we replace ``when" with multiplication (x). 
- ``will" means ``+", so we replace ``will" with addition (+). 
- ``you" means ``÷", so we replace ``you" with division (÷). 
- ``come" means ``-", so we replace ``come" with subtraction (-). 
The expression becomes: \[ 8 \, x \, 12 \, + \, 16 \, ÷ \, 2 \, - \, 10 \] 
Step 2: Now, we perform the operations in the correct order (PEMDAS rule: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)): 
- First, multiply 8 and 12: \( 8 \times 12 = 96 \). 
- Next, divide 16 by 2: \( 16 ÷ 2 = 8 \). - Now, add 96 and 8: \( 96 + 8 = 104 \). 
- Finally, subtract 10: \( 104 - 10 = 94 \). Thus, the value of the expression is 94. 
Thus, the correct answer is option (B) 94.
