If 'A' means 'division', B means 'multiply', C means 'subtract' and D means 'add', then what is the value of the following equation?

25 B 5 D 6 (5 B 2) C 18 A 3 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 179.

Given equation: 25 B 5 D 6 (5 B 2) C 18 A 3 =?

After replacing the letters with the signs:

25 × 5 + 6 (5 × 2) - 18 ÷ 3 =?

= (25 × 5) + 60 - (18 ÷ 3)

= 125 + 60 - 6

= 185 - 6

= 179
