By applying which of the following meanings of arithmetical signs, will the value of the expression [800-101/2x35+75] be zero? Option 1: × means ÷, + means ×, ÷ means +, − means − Option 2: × means +, + means −, ÷ means ÷, − means × Option 3: × means +, + means −, ÷ means ×, − means ÷ Option 4: × means ÷, + means −, ÷ means ×, − means +

Answer: × means +, + means −, ÷ means ×, − means ÷. Solution: Under option 3: - original - becomes - original becomes x - original x becomes + - original + becomes - So the expression becomes 80010x12+35-75. Using normal precedence: 80x12+35-75=40+35-75=0.

By applying which of the following meanings of arithmetical signs, will the value of the expression $[800-10\div\frac{1}{2}\times35+75]$ be zero?

× means ÷, + means ×, ÷ means +, − means −

× means +, + means −, ÷ means ÷, − means ×

× means +, + means −, ÷ means ×, − means ÷

× means ÷, + means −, ÷ means ×, − means +

✅ Correct Option: 3

Under option 3:

original $-$ becomes $\div$
original $\div$ becomes $\times$
original $\times$ becomes $+$
original $+$ becomes $-$

So the expression becomes

$800\div10\times\frac12+35-75$ .

Using normal precedence: $80\times\frac12+35-75=40+35-75=0$ .
