34 A 15 B 3 C 11 B 2 A (51 D 17) = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 60

Given equation: 34 A 15 B 3 C 11 B 2 A (51 D 17) 

Given conditions:

'A' denotes ‘+’,

'B' denotes ‘×’,

'C' denotes ‘-’,

'D' denotes ‘÷’

After putting the symbols, the expression becomes:

= 34 + 15 × 3 - 11 × 2 + (51 ÷ 17)

= 34 + 45 - 22 + 3

= 82 - 22

= 60

Hence, 60 is the correct answer.
