    If' '+' means 'subtraction', - means 'multiplication '- ' means 'addition' and '÷ ' means 'x' division', then what is the value of the following expression? 

     3 − 21 + 153 × 17 ÷ 26

    84 

    Incorrect Answer

    80

    Correct Answer

    76

    Incorrect Answer

    58

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Let’s break this down step by step:

    - The symbols have swapped meanings:

    - '+' means subtraction

    - '-' means multiplication

    - '×' means addition

    - '÷' means division

    - So, rewrite the expression:

    3 - 21 + 153 × 17 ÷ 26

    becomes

    3 * 21 - 153 + 17 / 26

    - Calculate in the correct order (multiplication/division first):

    - 3 * 21 = 63

    - 17 / 26 ˜ 0.6538, but since options are integers, check if that’s a typo; check if order should be:

    153 + 17 = 170 (using × as addition)

    Now, do

    3 * 21 = 63

    170 / 26 ˜ 6.538

    - Now put it together using '-' as multiplication and '+' as subtraction:

    63 - 170 / 26

    170 / 26 = about 6.538

    63 - 6.538 ˜ 56.462

    But hold on—are we following order of operations? Let’s check with brackets for operator precedence:

    - Do multiplications/divisions first:

    - 3 – 21 (which means 3 * 21 = 63)

    - 153 × 17 (which means 153 + 17 = 170)

    - 170 ÷ 26 (which means 170 / 26 ˜ 6.538)

    Now, the expression is:

    63 + 6.538 (because original '+' means subtraction)

    But ‘+’ means subtraction, so:

    63 - 6.538 ˜ 56.462

    So the closest integer in the options is 58.

    Here are the options mapped out:

    - 1: 84

    - 2: 80

    - 3: 76

    - 4: 58  This fits our calculation best.

    The correct answer is:

    Option: 4, 58

    That fits the steps and the logic. The key is translating the operators and carefully working through each stage.
