Correct Answer

1375

Solution

The correct option is 1375.

To find the value that replaces the question mark (?), we need to perform the interchanged operations as specified in the problem statement:
1. '+' and '–' are interchanged (i.e., replace '+' with '–' and replace '–' with '+').
2. '×' and '÷' are interchanged (i.e., replace '×' with '÷' and replace '÷' with '×').

The given equation is:
4515×5431÷3+821=?

After interchanging the operators, the equation becomes:
4515÷5+431×3821=?

Now, we solve the expression using the standard BODMAS (Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) rule:

Step 1: Perform Division
Divide 4515 by 5:
4515÷5=903

Substitute this back into the equation:
903+431×3821=?

Step 2: Perform Multiplication
Multiply 431 by 3:
431×3=1293

Substitute this value:
903+1293821=?

Step 3: Perform Addition
Add 903 and 1293:
903+1293=2196

Substitute this value:
2196821=?

Step 4: Perform Subtraction
Subtract 821 from 2196:
2196821=1375

Therefore, the value that replaces the question mark is 1375.
