If $+$ means $÷$ , $÷$ means $-$ , $-$ means $×$ , and $×$ means $+$ , then find the value of the following expression: $5 - (13 - 4 + 2 ÷ 6 × 15 ÷ 5)$

120

150

Correct Option: 4

Given rules:

\newline

'+' means '÷'

\newline

'-' means '×'

\newline

'×' means '+'

\newline

'÷' means '-'

Converting the expression:

\newline

5 - (13 - 4 + 2 ÷ 6 × 15 ÷ 5)

becomes

\newline

5 \times (13 \times 4 \div 2 - 6 + 15 - 5)

Now let's solve step by step following BODMAS:

Inside brackets first:

\newline

4\div2=2

13 \times 2 = 26

26 - 6 = 20

20 + 15 = 35

35 - 5 = 30

So now we have:

\newline

5 \times 30 = 150

Therefore, the value of the expression is 150.
