If M denotes ‘-’, N denotes ‘÷’, O denotes ‘×’, and P denotes ‘+’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?

324 P 35 M 184 M 17 O 3 P 39 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 163.

Given conditions: M denotes ‘-’, N denotes ‘÷’, O denotes ‘×’, and P denotes ‘+’

Given equation: 324 P 35 M 184 M 17 O 3 P 39 =?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 324 + 35 - 184 - 17 × 3 + 39

= 398 - 184 - 51

= 398 - 235

= 163

Hence, 163 is the correct answer.
