If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes -, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following expression?

72 D 12 A 16 C 4 B 2 =? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 14.

Given equation: 72 D 12 A 16 C 4 B 2 =?

Given conditions:

A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes -, and D denotes ÷

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 72 ÷ 12 + 16 - 4 × 2

= 6 + 16 - 4 × 2

= 6 + 16 - 8

= 22 - 8

= 14

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
