If 'A' denotes 'addition', 'B' denotes 'multiplication', 'C' denotes 'subtraction', and 'D' denotes 'division', then what will be the value of the following expression?
35B 2 A 5 B ( 40 C 37) A ( 8 B 4 ) D 16 C 14 = ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 73.
Given the equation: 35B 2 A 5 B ( 40 C 37) A ( 8 B 4 ) D 16 C 14 = ?
Given conditions: A = +; B = ×; C = -; D = ÷
⇒ 35 × 2 + 5 × (40 - 37) + (8 × 4) ÷ 16 - 14
⇒ 35 × 2 + 5 × (3) + (32) ÷ 16 - 14
⇒ 35 × 2 + 5 × (3) + 2 - 14
⇒ 35 × 2 + 15 + 2 - 14
⇒ 70 + 15 + 2 - 14
⇒ 73
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
