SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 9 Nov 2020 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q92

If ‘A’ denotes ‘addition’, ‘B’ denotes ‘multiplication’, ‘C’ denotes ‘subtraction’ and ‘D’ denotes ‘division’, then what will be the value of the following expression?

32 B 3 C (17 A 4) B 3 A 24 D 4 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 39.

Given expression: 32 B 3 C (17 A 4) B 3 A 24 D 4 = ?

After replacing symbols, we get:

32 × 3 - (17 + 4) × 3 + 24 ÷ 4 = ?

= 32 × 3 - (21) × 3 + 24 ÷ 4 

= 32 × 3 - (21) × 3 + 6

= 96 - 63 + 6

= 102 - 63

= 39
