If '+' means 'multiplication', '-' means 'division', '×' means 'subtraction' and '÷' means 'addition', then what is the value of the following expression?
26 + 342-19 × 73 ÷14
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 409.
According to the information given,
| Signs | + | - | × | ÷ |
| Meaning | × | ÷ | - | + |
Given series: 26 + 342-19 × 73 ÷14
After interchanging with the signs we get,
26 × 342 ÷ 19 - 73 +14
⇒ 26 × 18 - 73 +14
⇒ 468 - 73 +14
⇒ 482 - 73 = 409
Thus, 26 × 342 ÷ 19 - 73 +14 = 409.
Hence, 409 is the correct answer.
