SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q154

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

77 A 23 B 2 A 25 D 5 = 8 B 32 D 4 ? 64
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. A.

Given equation: 77 A 23 B 2 A 25 D 5 = 8 B 32 D 4 ? 64

Given conditions:

A denotes ‘+’

B denotes ‘ב

C denotes ‘−’

D denotes ‘÷’

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 77 + 23 × 2 + 25 ÷ 5 = 8 × 32 ÷ 4 ? 64

= 77 + 23 × 2 + 5 = 8 × 32 ÷ 4 ? 64

= 77 + 46 + 5 = 8 × 8 ? 64

= 128 = 64 ? 64

= 128 = 64 + 64

Thus, '?' should be replaced by '+'.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
