If "S" denotes "multiplied by", "V" denotes "subtracted from", "M" denotes "added to" and "L" denotes "divided by", then find the value of:
96 L 12 S 7 V 49 M 10=?
- A18
- B20
- C21
- D17
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, let's substitute the letters with their respective mathematical operators:
L→÷
S→×
V→−
M→+
The expression becomes:
96÷12×7−49+10
Now, apply the BODMAS rule (Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction):
Division:
96÷12=8
The expression is now: 8×7−49+10
Multiplication:
8×7=56
The expression is now: 56−49+10
Addition and Subtraction:
56+10−49=66−49=17
L→÷
S→×
V→−
M→+
The expression becomes:
96÷12×7−49+10
Now, apply the BODMAS rule (Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction):
Division:
96÷12=8
The expression is now: 8×7−49+10
Multiplication:
8×7=56
The expression is now: 56−49+10
Addition and Subtraction:
56+10−49=66−49=17
