If x stands for +, < for -, + for ÷, > for x, - for =, ...
Understanding the Problem
In this problem, we have a set of symbols that represent different mathematical operations. We need to decode these operations before evaluating each option.
Symbol Replacement
- x stands for +
- < stands="" for="" />
- + stands for ÷
- > stands for x
- - stands for =
- ÷ stands for >
- = stands for
Evaluating the Options
Now, let’s evaluate each option using the provided replacements.
Option a: 3 x 4 > 2 - 9 + 3 < />
- Decoded: 3 + 4 x 2 = 9 ÷ 3 < />
- Calculation:
- Left side: 3 + 4 = 7; Right side: 9 ÷ 3 = 3 (False)
Option b: 5 x 3 < 7="" ÷="" 8="" +="" 4="" x="" />
- Decoded: 5 + 3 - 7 > 8 ÷ 4 + 1
- Calculation:
- Left side: 5 + 3 = 8; Right side: 7 > 2 + 4 = 6 (False)
Option c: 5 > 2 + 2 = 10 < 4="" x="" />
- Decoded: 5 x 2 - 2 < 10="4" +="" />
- Calculation:
- Left side: 5 x 2 = 10; Right side: 10 = 4 + 8 = 12 (True)
Option d: 3 x 2 < 4="" ÷="" 16="" /> 2 + 4
- Decoded: 3 + 2 - 4 > 16 x 2 + 4
- Calculation:
- Left side: 5 < 4;="" right="" side:="" 32="" +="" 4="36" />
Conclusion
After evaluating all options, only Option c holds true as the left side equals the right side, confirming it as the correct answer.

Community Answer
If x stands for +, < for -, + for ÷, > for x, - for =, ...
Using the proper symbols in (c), we get
5 x 2 ÷ 2 < 10 - 4 + 8
⇒ 5 x 1 < 18 - 4 ⇒ 5 < 14
which is true.

Similar SSC CGL Doubts

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.A few years ago it seemed as if the moment for stand-up comedy had arrived. By the end of 2017, stand-up comedians were on the cover of a magazine, signaling the coming of age of the industry.The stand-up game attracted investors in the right places: on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, apart from increasing open mic schedules in venues across cities. Two major companies Comedy Store and Canvas Laugh Club arrived on the scene and were game changers.But despite a heady start, the comic landscape has changed drastically today with stand-up comedians feeling the brunt of faltering payments and cancelled shows.Despite a good start, the Indian stand-up industry is still unorganized and uncertain for comics.If you ask viral comic Kunal Kamra about the scene, he says that the audience isn't really 'invested' in the art form at the moment and that only ten or twenty tickets would sell if comics weren't on the internet promoting themselves. And this is despite the surge in open mics and more stand-ups coming in.Last year, new-age Indian comedy's reputation came under strain when allegations under the #MeToo movement exposed a darker side of the circuit. Since then, the big three comedy groups: All India Bakchod, SNG Comedy and East India Comedy, have either disbanded or had founding members quit.Jeeya Sethi, a leading comedian says, ''It's a good thing that these-collectives have died because they mostly had men with no women being showcased.''Sethi adds saying that it isn't as easy as it sounds. ''In a fledgling industry, a viral YouTube video isn't a sign that you've made it''. Craft takes time. Every comic who does two open mics calls himself a comedian. In my opinion, you have to do comedy for more than 20 years to be a comic. It takes at least five years to find your voice.''Q. The stand-up comedy show had a wonderful start because-1. Open mic shows were held in venues across cities.2. Leading companies came forward to support artists.3. Payments to artists were prompt and good.4. Some Bollywood directors offered them roles.5. Comedians were given good media coverage.

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:Move aside cheetah and peregrine falcon, there is a new contender for the title of fastest animal on Earth: the Dracula ant. Scientists have discovered that the small tropical insect can snap its mandibles at up to 90 metres a second (more than 200mph), the fastest animal movement on record.The ants use the explosive motion to attack, stun and kill prey, which is then fed to their larvae. “They’re cruising around underground and if they encounter something like a centipede or a termite they can smack them with the mandibles to kill or stun them,” said Andrew Suarez, an animal biology professor at the University of Illinois, who led the work. “They can then sting it to further incapacitate it and then they carry it back to the nest.”“Even among ants that power-amplify their jaws, the Dracula ants are unique,” said Adrian Smith, of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, who was a co-author of the study.The species, Mystriumcamillae, was already known to have highly specialised appendages. However, scientists were able to ascertain the exact speed of the snapping motion only with the advent of high-speed video technology over the past 10 years. The scientists also used x-ray imaging technology to observe the ants’ anatomy in three dimensions to better understand how the movement works.The observations showed that Dracula ants power up their mandibles by pressing the tips together, spring-loading them with internal stresses. Eventually, when one mandible slides across the other, each is released, in a similar motion to people clicking their fingers. Dracula ants are mostly found in the tropics in Africa and Asia. They live in large colonies underground, or inside tree trunks, so are rarely seen. Their name derives from their unusual feeding habits, which involves a form of non-destructive cannibalism. The adult ants are unable to process solid food; instead, they feed prey to their larvae and then chew holes in the larvae and drink their blood. Scientists call the arrangement a “social stomach”. Scientists are conducting more studies in their natural environment to understand these ants better.Q. The scientists who study Dracula Ants call them non destructive cannibals because
