If ‘P’ denotes ‘addition’, ‘D’ denotes ‘subtraction’, ‘S’ denotes ‘multiplication’, and ‘V’ denotes ‘division’, then what will be the value of the following expression?
15 S 2 P 2 (11 S 2) D 75 V 15 D 4 (9 S 4)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. -75.
Given equation: 15 S 2 P 2 (11 S 2) D 75 V 15 D 4 (9 S 4)
Given conditions:
P ⇒ +
S ⇒ ×
V ⇒ ÷
D ⇒ -
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 15 × 2 + 2 (11 × 2) - 75 ÷ 15 - 4 (9 × 4)
= 15 × 2 + 2 (22) - 75 ÷ 15 - 4 (36)
= 15 × 2 + 44 - 75 ÷ 15 - 144
= 15 × 2 + 44 - 5 - 144
= 30 + 44 - 5 - 144
= -75
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
