D) +, −, ÷, ×, =, +

Ans: A

BODMAS rule;

Given:

52 @ 12 @ 15 @ 3 @ 6 @ 5 @ 15

Now, checking the options and solve equation using BODMAS rule;

1) −, +, ÷, =, ×, +

⇒ 52 – 12 + 15 ÷ 3 = 6 × 5 + 15

⇒ 52 – 12 + 5 = 6 × 5 + 15

⇒ 52 + 5 – 12 = 30 + 15

⇒ 57 – 12 = 45

⇒ 45 = 45

LHS = RHS

2) −, +, ×, =, ÷, +

⇒ 52 – 12 + 15 × 3 = 6 ÷ 5 + 15

⇒ 52 – 12 + 15 × 3 = 1.2 + 15

⇒ 52 + 45 – 12 = 1.2 + 15

⇒ 97 – 12 = 16.2

⇒ 85 ≠ 16.2

LHS ≠ RHS

3) −, +, ÷, ×, =, +

⇒ 52 – 12 + 15 ÷ 3 × 6 = 5 + 15

⇒ 52 – 12 + 5 × 6 = 5 + 15

⇒ 52 + 30 – 12 = 5 + 15

⇒ 82 – 12 = 20

⇒ 70 ≠ 20

LHS ≠ RHS

4) +, −, ÷, ×, =, +

⇒ 52 + 12 – 15 ÷ 3 × 6 = 5 + 15

⇒ 52 + 12 – 5 × 6 = 5 + 15

⇒ 52 + 12 – 30 = 20

⇒ 64 – 30 = 20

⇒ 34 ≠ 20

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is “option (1)”.

31) In a certain code language, ‘PRAISES’ is written as ‘KIXFHBH’ and ‘LIGHTS’ is written as ‘OFTSGH’. How will ‘CRUCIFIX’ be written in that language?
