What is the answer ?

 Today I have come with an arithmetic puzzle.


What is  2   +   2    -   2   *   2   /   2


We must follow BODMAS formula. 

This formula states that we must perform 

1. Bracket 

2. Order 

3. Division 

4. Multiplication 

5. Addition 

6.. Subtraction 


We must follow this formula to solve the problem. 




1. we check for the brackets. 

There are none. 




2. We check for order or exponants.

There are none. 




3. We check for the division. 

2  +   2  -  2  *   2  /  2

There is division between 2 and 2 that is 2   /   2 = 1.



Now equation reduces to

2  +  2    -   2  *  1




4. Check for multiplication.


There is  2     +       2      -    2    *  1     =>   2    +     2   -   2    




5. Check for addition. 

2   +   2  -   2   => 4   -   2



6. Finally checking for the subtraction. 


4  -  2   =  2.



Answer is                   2.
