5 P (7 S 6) D 3 (8 P 6) S 7 Q 11 (3 S 13 Q 2) P 2 (41 S 9)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 343.

Given equation: 5 P (7 S 6) D 3 (8 P 6) S 7 Q 11 (3 S 13 Q 2) P 2 (41 S 9)

On replacing the letters with sign:

5 + (7 × 6) ÷ 3 (8 + 6) × 7 - 11 (3 × 13 - 2) + 2 (41 × 9)

5 + 42 ÷ 42 × 7 - 407 + 738

5 + 7 - 407 + 738

- 407 + 750 = 343
