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

255 N 5 O 4 P 16 O 3 M 29 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 223.

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

Given the equation: 255 N 5 O 4 P 16 O 3 M 29 =?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 255 ÷ 5 × 4 + 16 × 3 - 29

= 51 × 4 + 16 × 3 - 29

= 204 + 48 - 29

= 252 - 29 = 223
