(a) 4 × 5 + 9 – 3 ÷ 4 = 15
(b) 4 × 5 × 9 + 3 ÷ 4 = 11
(c) 4 – 5 ÷ 9 × 3 – 4 = 17
(d) 4 ÷ 5 + 9 – 3 + 4 =18

2. If ‘–’ stands for ‘division’, ‘+’ for ‘multiplication’, ‘—’ for ‘subtraction’ and ‘×’ for ‘addition’. Which one of the following equation s is correct?
(a) 6 + 20 – 12 ÷ 7 – 1 = 38
(b) 6 – 20 + 12 ÷ 7 + 1 = 57
(c) 6 + 20 – 12 ÷ 7 × 1=62
(d) 6 ÷ 20 × 12 + 7 – 1 = 70

3. If ‘+’ stands for ‘division’, ‘–’stands for ‘multiplication’ ‘×’ stands for ‘subtraction’ and ‘–’ stands for ‘addition’. Which one of the following is correct?
(a) 18 ÷ 6 × 7 + 5 – 2 = 22
(b) 18 ÷ 6 + 7 – 5 – 2 = 16
(c) 18 ÷ 6 – 7 + 5 × 2 = 20
(d) 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 – 2 = 18
