If ‘I’ stands for ‘×’, ‘J’ stands for ‘+’, ‘K’ stands for ‘÷’ and ‘L’ stands for ‘−’, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?

17 I (11 L 8 J 4) L 148 K 4 J 22 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 104.

17 I (11 L 8 J 4) L 148 K 4 J 22 = ?

After interchanging signs,

= 17 ×\times( 11 - 8 + 4 ) - (148 ÷ 4) + 22 

= 17 ×\times 7 - 37 + 22

= 119 - 37 + 22

= 82 + 22 = 104
