If A denotes '+', B denotes '×', C denotes '-', and D denotes '÷', then what will come in place of '?' in the following equation?

48 D 12 A (√36 B 3) C 19 A 24 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 27

Given equation: 48 D 12 A (√36 B 3) C 19 A 24 = ?

Given conditions:

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

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 48 ÷ 12 + (√36 × 3) - 19 + 24

= 48 ÷ 12 + (6 × 3) - 19 + 24

= 48 ÷ 12 + 18 - 19 + 24

= 4 + 18 - 19 + 24

= 22 + 5

= 27

Hence, 27 is the correct answer.
