MBA CET 2026: Mathematical Operations Mastery
Instructions: Identify the correct set of mathematical symbols (+, -, *, /) that satisfy the equation following the BODMAS/PEMDAS rules.
Q1. 24 A 6 B 12 C 16 = 0
Correct Option: 1
Rationale:
24 / 6 + 12 – 16 = 0
Step 1 (Division): 24 / 6 = 4
Step 2 (Addition): 4 + 12 = 16
Step 3 (Subtraction): 16 – 16 = 0
Balanced Equation: 0 = 0.
Quick Tips: Look for Division first (24 is divisible by 6). If the result is 0, expect a subtraction near the largest values.
Q2. 18 a 3 b 6 c 2 = 10
Correct Option: 1
Rationale: 18 / 3 + 6 – 2. Division first: 18 / 3 = 6. Then 6 + 6 – 2 = 10.
Difficulty: Easy
Q3. 12 a 4 b 8 c 8 = 14
Correct Option: 2
Rationale: 12 * 4 / 8 + 8. Following BODMAS: (12 * 4) / 8 = 48 / 8 = 6. Then 6 + 8 = 14.
Difficulty: Medium
Q4. 25 a 5 b 10 c 8 = 7
Correct Option: 3
Rationale: 25 / 5 + 10 – 8. First, 25 / 5 = 5. Then 5 + 10 – 8 = 7.
Difficulty: Easy
Q5. 8 a 4 b 2 c 5 = 9
Correct Option: 1
Rationale: 8 / 4 * 2 + 5. Division first: 8 / 4 = 2. Then 2 * 2 + 5 = 9.
Difficulty: Medium
Q6. 16 a 4 b 3 c 7 = 5
Correct Option: 2
Rationale: 16 / 4 * 3 – 7. First, 16 / 4 = 4. Then 4 * 3 – 7 = 5.
Difficulty: Medium
