Question 45

If ‘A’ stands for ‘$$\div$$’, ‘B’ stands for ‘$$\times$$’, ‘C’ stands for ‘$$+$$’ and ‘D’ stands for ‘$$−$$’, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
9 B 14 D 16 C 40 A 10 = ?

The codes are: ‘A’ $$\rightarrow$$ $$\div$$, ‘B’ $$\rightarrow$$ $$\times$$, ‘C’ $$\rightarrow$$ $$+$$, ‘D’ $$\rightarrow$$ $$-$$.

Replace each letter in $$9\;B\;14\;D\;16\;C\;40\;A\;10$$:

$$9\times14-16+40\div10$$

According to BODMAS, perform multiplication and division first.

Multiplication: $$9\times14=126$$

Division: $$40\div10=4$$

The expression reduces to $$126-16+4$$

Proceed left to right with subtraction and addition:

$$126-16=110$$

$$110+4=114$$

Thus the value of the whole expression is $$114$$.

Option C which is: 114
