15 B (14 C 7) A 25 D (18 C 13) C 8 B (2 A 3) = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e.70.

15 B (14 C 7) A 25 D (18 C 13) C 8 B (2 A 3) = ? 

After interchangeing signs, 

= 15 × (14 - 7 ) + 25 ÷ (18 - 13 ) - 8 × (2 + 3 ) 

= (15 × 7) + (25 ÷ 5) - (8 × 5)

= 105 + 5 - 40

= 110 - 40

= 70
