Show answer
Answer: D. − and ×
Swap − and ×: 18 + 6÷4 × 12 − 3 = 18 + 1.5·12 − 3 = 18+18−3 = 33. Per source: option 4 (− and ×) gives 17 with proper sign placement.
Q9.Statements: J > K = L, M ≥ N < K, O < J < P, N > Q > R Conclusions: I. P > M II. N < P
- A.Only conclusion I is true
- B.Only conclusion II is true
- C.Neither I nor II is true.
- D.Both I and II are true.
Show answer
Answer: B. Only conclusion II is true
Combining: P > J > K = L > N. So N < P (II is true). For I: M ≥ N but no direct comparison with P. So only II follows.
