    If '-' stands for 'division', '+' stands for 'multiplication', \[\text{ }\!\!'\!\!\text{ }\div \text{ }\!\!'\!\!\text{ }\]stands for 'subtraction' and \[\text{ }\!\!'\!\!\text{ }\times \text{ }\!\!'\!\!\text{ }\] stands for 'addition', which one of the following equations is CORRECT?

    A)  \[6+20-12-7-1\text{ }=38\]

    B)  \[6-3\div 12\times 7+1=57\]

    C)  \[6+20-12\div 7\times 1=62\]

    D)  \[6\div 20\times 12+7-1=70\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [a] \[6\times 20\div 12-7\div 1\]
    \[\Rightarrow 6\times \frac{5}{3}-7=10-7=3\ne 38\]
    [b] \[6\div 3-12+7\times 1\]
    \[\Rightarrow 2-12+7=-3\ne 57\]
    [c] \[6\times 20\div 12-7+1\]
    \[\Rightarrow 6\times \frac{5}{3}-7+1=10-7+1=4\ne 62\]
    [d] \[6-20+12\times 7\div 1\]
    \[\Rightarrow 6-20+12\times 7\Rightarrow 6-20+84=70\]
