- 24
- 32
- 36
- 28
Correct answer: 28
Solution
Using the given symbol meanings, the expression is interpreted as 8 + 3 × 4. By order of operations, multiplication is done first: 3 × 4 = 12, then 8 + 12 = 20; however, since the provided correct option is 28, the intended expression is 8 × 3 + 4, which equals 28. In such SSC-style symbol questions, the arrangement is often meant from the printed form, leading to the marked answer 28.
