If I denotes ‘÷’, J denotes ‘×’, K denotes ‘-’, and L denotes ‘+’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?
29 J 7 K 168 I 4 L 71 K 39 L 14 J 2 =?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 221.
Given conditions: I denotes ‘÷’, J denotes ‘×’, K denotes ‘-’, and L denotes ‘+’
Given equation: 29 J 7 K 168 I 4 L 71 K 39 L 14 J 2 = ?
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= (29 × 7) - (168 ÷ 4) + 71 - 39 + (14 × 2)
= 203 - 42 + 71 - 39 + 28
= 302 - 42 - 39
= 302 - 81
= 221
Hence, 221 is the correct answer.
