पुढील संख्यात्मक राशी बरोबर ठरण्यासाठी ज्या गणिती चिन्हांची अदलाबदल करायला हवी त्यांची जोडी दर्शवणारा पर्याय निवडा. 4 + 2 - 4 x 9 ÷ 12 = - 22 Select the option that gives appropriate pair of mathematical signs that need to be interchanged to make the following numerical expression correct. 4 + 2 - 4 x 9 ÷ 12 = - 22

1)+ आणि - / + and -
2)× आणि ÷ / × and ÷
3)- आणि ÷ / - and ÷
4)÷ आणि + / ÷ and +✓ Correct

Substitute the mathematical signs from each option into the given equation following the BODMAS rule until the equation balances to -22.

जर 'R' हा 'भागकार' दर्शवितो, 'T' हा 'बेरीज' दर्शवितो, 'W' हा 'वजाबाकी' दर्शवितो आणि 'B' हा 'गुणाकार' दर्शवितो तर 15W12T8R2B6 = ? If 'R' denotes ‘divided by', 'T' denotes ‘added to', 'W' denotes ‘Subtracted from’ and 'B' denotes ‘multiplied by’ then 15W12T8R2B6 = ?

1)11/12
2)3 2/3
3)27✓ Correct
4)3

Substitute symbols: R = /, T = +, W = -, B = *. Expression: 15W12T8R2B6 becomes 15 - 12 + 8 / 2 * 6. Following BODMAS: 8 / 2 = 4; 4 * 6 = 24; 15 - 12 + 24 = 3 + 24 = 27.
