Apply BODMAS after swapping the signs: multiply (x) becomes divide (/), divide (/) becomes multiply (x), plus (+) becomes minus (-), and minus (-) becomes plus (+).

Given equation: 24 x 6 / 3 - 11 + 13. Swapping signs: x to /, / to x, - to +, + to -. The new equation is: 24 / 6 * 3 + 11 - 13.
Apply BODMAS rule
Following order: Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. First, 24 / 6 = 4. Then, 4 * 3 = 12. Next, 12 + 11 = 23. Finally, 23 - 13 = 10.
A: 12 is incorrect based on the calculated result. B: 9 is incorrect based on the calculated result. C: 8 is incorrect based on the calculated result.
D is correct because the application of BODMAS on the transformed equation 24 / 6 * 3 + 11 - 13 yields 10.
Always write the new equation clearly after substituting symbols to avoid calculation errors; never skip the BODMAS sequence.
