If I denotes ‘÷’, J denotes ‘×’, K denotes ‘−’ and L denotes ‘+’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?

118 L (16 I 4) K (72 J 2) L 28 L (39 J 3) = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 123.

Given equation: 118 L (16 I 4) K (72 J 2) L 28 L (39 J 3) = ?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 118 + (16 ÷ 4) - (72 × 2) + 28 + (39 × 3)

= 118 + 4 - 144 + 28 + 117 = 123
