If P denotes ‘×’, Q denotes ‘÷’, R denotes ‘+’, and S denotes ‘-’, then what will come in place of ‘?’ in the following equation?

94 R 16 Q 2 P 7 S 64 R 13 P 2 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 112.

Given conditions: P denotes ‘×’, Q denotes ‘÷’, R denotes ‘+’, and S denotes ‘-’

Given equation: 94 R 16 Q 2 P 7 S 64 R 13 P 2 = ?

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 94 + (16 ÷ 2) × 7 - 64 + 13 × 2

= 94 + (8 × 7) - 64 + (13 × 2)

= 94 + 56 - 64 + 26

= 176 - 64

= 112
