Given symbol mappings:

  • ‘+’ means ‘−’
  • ‘−’ means ‘×’
  • ‘×’ means ‘÷’
  • ‘÷’ means ‘+’

The given equation is:

502 ÷ 78 + 2 − 258 × 2 = ?

Replace the operators with their corresponding new meanings:

502 + 78 − 2 × 258 ÷ 2 = ?

⇒ 502 + 78 − 258 = ?

⇒ 580 - 250 = 322.

hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
