If A denotes 'addition'. B denotes multiplication'. C denotes 'subtraction', and D denotes division', then what will be the value of the following equation?
14 C (18 D3) A5 = ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 13.
According to the information,
| Symbol | A | B | C | D |
| Meaning | addition | multiplication' | subtraction | division |
Given equation: 14 C (18 D3) A5 = ?
After changing the signs, we get:
14 - (18 ÷ 3) + 5 = ?
⇒ 14 - (18 ÷ 3) + 5 = ?
⇒ 14 - 6 + 5 = ?
⇒ 19 - 6 = 13
Hence, 13 is the correct answer.
