Answers:

1-Ans.(d)

Sol.  After changing signs according to the question, the new equation will be:
From option (d),
30 ÷ 5 + 4 × 10 – 15 
= 6 + 40 – 15 
= 46 – 15 = 31 (True) 

2-Ans.(c)

Sol. alphabetical order:
Finger, Flourish, Forget, Forgo 

3Ans.(c)

Sol.  After changing signs according to the question, the new equation will be:
(3 × 18 + 11) ÷ 13 + 8 
= (54 + 11) ÷ 13 + 8 
= 65 ÷ 13 + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13 

4-Ans.(c)
