If ‘A’ stands for ‘÷ Gentile division’, ‘B’ stands for ‘×’, ‘C’ stands for ‘+’ and ‘D’ stands for ‘−’, what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
36 B 17 D 59 C 224 A 7 = ?
- A685
- B558
- C585
- D855
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's substitute the mathematical operators given in the problem instructions:
B →×
D →−
C →+
A →÷
Substituting these into the equation:
Expression=36×17−59+224÷7
Applying the BODMAS rule:
Division:
224÷7=32
The equation becomes: 36×17−59+32
Multiplication:
36×17=612
The equation becomes: 612−59+32
Addition and Subtraction:
612+32=644
644−59=585
Thus, the correct value is 585.
