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

124 D 4 C 86 D 2 A 61 A 17 B 3 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 100.

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

Given equation: 124 D 4 C 86 D 2 A 61 A 17 B 3 = ?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= (124 ÷ 4) - (86 ÷ 2) + 61 + 17 × 3

= 31 - 43 + 61 + (17 × 3)

= 31 - 43 + 61 + 51

= 143 - 43

= 100

Hence, 100 is the correct answer.
