Last updated on Jun 28, 2025

Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction are together referred to as BODMAS. In this topic, it is important to keep in mind the correct order of steps to take when solving the given expressions. These questions involve mathematical operations with numbers in which two/more signs are changed in order to obtain the correct answer. Sometimes, operations given are changed with some other operations and the correct answer after replacement is asked. Moreover, in some cases numbers and operations both are interchanged. In order to ace this topic we need to have firm understanding of BODMAS rule and its applications. Secondly, be quick with the calculations. Mostly try to go by options given by eliminating options which are not giving us the right answer. This approach is going to be more clear after solving few of the questions based on this topic. Following are the questions based on the topic for practice.

Latest Bodmas Rule MCQ Objective Questions

Bodmas Rule Question 1:

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and
to balance the given equation.

16 * 6 * 4 * 24

  1. = ÷ ÷
  2. × ÷ =
  3. × = ÷
  4. ÷ = ×
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : × ÷ =

Bodmas Rule Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given equation is → 16 * 6 * 4 * 24

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

Option 1 → = ÷ ÷

16 = 6 ÷ 4 ÷ 24

16 = 1.5 ÷ 24

16 ≠ 0.0625

Option 2 → × ÷ =

16 × 6 ÷ 4 = 24

16 × 1.5 = 24

24 = 24

Option 3 → × = ÷

16 × 6 = 4 ÷ 24

16 × 6 = 0.166

96 ≠ 0.166

Option 4 → ÷ = ×

16 ÷ 6 = 4 × 24

2.666 = 4 × 24

2.666 ≠ 96

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Bodmas Rule Question 2:

In a certain code language, '@' represents '+', '⊕' represents '-' 'α' represents '÷' and 'θ' represents '×'. 

Find out the answer to the following question:

8900 α 100 ⊕ 5 θ 4 ⊕ 121 α 11 = ?

  1. 58
  2. 158
  3. 62
  4. 205
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 58

Bodmas Rule Question 2 Detailed Solution

Decoding the information, 

Sign

@

α

θ

Means

+

-

÷

×

Given:

8900 α 100 ⊕ 5 θ 4 ⊕ 121 α 11 = ?

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

8900 ÷ 100 - 5 × 4 - 121 ÷ 11

89 - 5 × 4 - 11

89 - 20 - 11

= 89 - 31

= 58

Hence, “58” is the correct answer.

Bodmas Rule Question 3:

If ‘+’ means subtraction, '-' means division, '×' means addition and '%' means multiplication. Based on these information what is the value of 22 + 18 - 3 % 5 = ?

  1. -25
  2. -8
  3. 25
  4. 185
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : -8

Bodmas Rule Question 3 Detailed Solution

Given Equation: 22 + 18 - 3 % 5 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Symbols × % + -
Meaning + × - ÷

 

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 22 - 18 ÷ 3 × 5 = ?

⇒ 22 - × 5 = ? 

22 - 308

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Bodmas Rule Question 4:

If '÷' denotes 'subtraction', '-' denotes 'addition', '+' denotes 'multiplication' and '×' denotes 'division', then what will be the value of the given expression?

256 × 8 ÷ 24 + 6 - 152

  1. 40
  2. 78
  3. 86
  4. 28
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 40

Bodmas Rule Question 4 Detailed Solution

Here, we use the table given below:

As per the given information:

Symbol Denote
÷ Subtraction (-)
- Addition (+)
+ Multiplication (×) 
× Division (÷)

Given expression:

256 × 8 ÷ 24 + 6 - 152

After changing the sign as per the table:

256 ÷ 8 - 24 × 6 + 152

Apply BODMAS:

256 ÷ 8 - 24 × 6 + 152
32 - 24 × 6 + 152

32 - 144 + 152

184 - 144 = 40

256 ÷ 8 - 24 × 6 + 152 = 40

Hence, the correct answer is "40".

Bodmas Rule Question 5:

 If A denotes ‘+’, B denotes ‘×’, C denotes ‘−’, and D denotes ‘÷’, then what will be the value of the following expression?

54 C 34 A 24 D 8 B 2 

  1. 29
  2. 23
  3. 26
  4. 21
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 26

Bodmas Rule Question 5 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

From the given information: A denotes ‘+’, B denotes ‘×’, C denotes ‘−’, and D denotes ‘÷’
We substitute the values in the given equation and solve it using BODMAS rule:

54 C 34 A 24 D 8 B 2 
54 - 34 + 24 ÷ 8 × 2
54 - 34 + 3 × 2 
54 - 34 + 6
60 - 34

26 = Answer

Hence the correct answer is option (3).

According to the question, after interchanging the given two signs and two numbers i.e :

  • × and +
  • Two numbers 3 and 9

So,

I. 7 + 3 – 8 ÷ 2 × 9

⇒ 7 + 3 - × 9

⇒ 7 + 3 - 36

10 - 36

⇒ -26

II. 4 + 3 – 9 × 8 ÷ 2

⇒ 4 + 3 - 9 × 4

4 + 3 - 36

7 - 36

⇒ -29

Here, values of equation (I) and (II)  are (-26) and (-29) respectively.

Hence, "Option - (2)" is the correct answer.

For this question, We have to check the given equation as-

146 –  2 + 3 × 123 × 5 + 2

Symbol Means
+ ×
×  
÷ +
  ÷

New equation after replacing symbols-

146 ÷ 2 × 3 – 123 - 5 × 2

According to the BODMAS rule-

⇒ 73 × 3 –  123 – 5 × 2

⇒ 219 –  123 –  10

⇒ 86

Hence, Option (4) is correct.

By interchanging the two numbers 20 and 36, which of the following equations will be correct?

II. 20 ÷ 2 × 36 + 81 – 41 = 400

  1. Only I 
  2. Only II
  3. Both I and II
  4. Neither I nor II 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : Both I and II

Bodmas Rule Question 8 Detailed Solution

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation I: 55 + 42 – 36 × 20 ÷ 9 = 17

Now, if '20 and 36' are interchanged, then:

⇒ 55 + 42 – 20 × 36 ÷ 9 = 17

⇒ 55 + 42 – 20 × 4 = 17

⇒ 55 + 42 – 80 = 17

97 – 80 = 17

17 = 17.

LHS = RHS.

Given equation II: 20 ÷ 2 × 36 + 81 – 41 = 400

Now, if '20 and 36' are interchanged, then:

36 ÷ 2 × 20 + 81 – 41 = 400

18 × 20 + 81 – 41 = 400

⇒ 360 + 81 – 41 = 400

⇒ 441 – 41 = 400

400 = 400

LHS = RHS.

Here, Both I and II are correct equation after interchanging the given symbol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Which of the two signs should be interchanged in order to make the following equation correct?

21 + 5 × 2 – 21 ÷ 3 = 12

  1. + and - 
  2. – and ÷
  3. – and ×
  4. × and ÷

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : – and ×

Bodmas Rule Question 9 Detailed Solution

Given Equation: 21 + 5 × 2 – 21 ÷ 3 = 12

1) + and -

After interchanging signs

LHS = 21 - 5 × 2 + 21 ÷ 3 = 21 – 10 + 7 = 18 ≠ RHS

2) – and ÷

After interchanging signs

LHS = 21 + 5 × 2 ÷ 21 – 3 = 21 + 0.476 – 3 = 18. 476 ≠ RHS

3) – and ×

After interchanging signs

LHS = 21 + 5 - 2 × 21 ÷ 3 = 21 + 5 – 14 = 12 = RHS

4) × and ÷

After interchanging signs

LHS = 21 + 5 ÷ 2 – 21 × 3 = 21 + 2.5 – 63 = - 39.5 ≠ RHS

Hence, “– and ×” is the correct answer. 

If '+' means 'division', '-' means 'addition', '×' means 'subtraction' and '÷' means 'multiplication', what will be the value of the following expression?

Given the equation: [{(48 × 20) - (2 ÷ 4)} + (2 - 4)] ÷ 2 = ?

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

= [{(48 - 20) + (2 × 4)} ÷ (2 + 4)] × 2 

= [{(28) + (8)} ÷ (6)] × 2

= [{36} ÷ (6)] × 2

= [6] × 2

= 12

Hence, the correct answer is "12".

Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number.

175 ∶ 210 ∶∶ 310 ∶ 372 ∶∶ 295 ∶ ?

  1. 362
  2. 354
  3. 348
  4. 340

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 354

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (First number ÷ 5) × 6 = Second number

  • 175 ∶ 210 → (175 ÷ 5) × 6 = 35 × 6 = 210
  • 310 ∶ 372 → (310 ÷ 5) × 6 = 62 × 6 = 372

Similarly,

  • 295 ∶ ? → (295 ÷ 5) × 6 = 59 × 6 = 354

Hence, '354' is the correct answer.

 Given:

240 × 72 + 8 ÷ 24 – 6

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

240 - 72 ÷ 8 × 24 + 6

= 240 - 9 × 24 + 6

= 240 - 216 + 6

= 246 - 216

= 30

Hence, “30” is the correct answer.

BODMAS:

Given: 

12 - 3 = 36

21 + 3 = 7

17 × 2 = 19

15 ÷ 3 = 12 

Symbol + - ÷  ×

Given equation: 144 ÷ 315 + 35 × 16 - 17

After change the sign, equation is:

⇒ 144 - 315 ÷ 35 + 16 × 17

⇒ 144 - 9 + 16 × 17

144 - 9 + 272

⇒ 416 - 9

⇒ 407

Hence, the correct answer is "407".
