185 N 5 P 62 M 32 O 4 P 32 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3.

Given equation: 185 N 5 P 62 M 32 O 4 P 32 =?

Given conditions:

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

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 185 ÷ 5 + 62 - 32 × 4 + 32

= 37 + 62 - 128 + 32

= 99 - 96

= 3

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
