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

(90 C 9) D 9 B 9 A 9 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 90.

Given equation: (90 C 9) D 9 B 9 A 9 =?

Given conditions:

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

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= (90 − 9) ÷ 9 × 9 + 9

= 81 ÷ 9 × 9 + 9

= 9 × 9 + 9

= 81 + 9

= 90

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
