17 J 6 K 21 L 93 I 3 L 35 K 12 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 135

Given equation: 17 J 6 K 21 L 93 I 3 L 35 K 12 = ?

Given conditions:

‘I’ means ‘÷’

‘J’ means ‘×'

‘K' means ‘-’

‘L' means ‘+’

After putting the symbols, the expression becomes:

= 17 × 6 - 21 + 93 ÷ 3 + 35 - 12

= 17 × 6 - 21 + 31 + 35 - 12

= 102 - 21 + 66 - 12

= 102 + 45 - 12

= 135

Hence, 135 is the correct answer.
