7 A 3 B 24 D 2 = 20 B ? A 3

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 2​​​​​.

Given conditions: A denotes ‘+’, B denotes ‘×’, C denotes ‘−’, and D denotes ‘÷’

Given equation: 7 A 3 B 24 D 2 = 20 B? A 3

After interchanging the expression becomes:

7 + 3 × 24 ÷ 2 = 20 × 2 + 3

7 + 3 × 12 = 40 + 3

7 + 36 = 43

43 = 43
