1)    If ‘+’ stands for division, ‘÷’ stands for multiplication, ‘×’ stands for subtraction and ‘−’ stands for addition, then which of the following is correct?

A) 18 × 6 + 7 ÷ 5 − 2 = 16

B) 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 − 2 = 18

C) 18 ÷ 6 × 7 + 5 − 2 = 22

D) 18 ÷ 6 − 7 + 5 × 2 = 20

‘+’ → division (/)

‘÷’ → multiplication (*)

‘×’ → subtraction (−)

‘−’ → addition (+)

18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 − 2 becomes

18 / 6 * 7 - 5 + 2

18 / 6 = 3

3 * 7 = 21

21 - 5 = 16

16 + 2 = 18

Ans)   B) 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 − 2 = 18.
