If L stands for +, M stands for −, N stands for ×, P stands for ÷, then 14 N 10 L 42 P 2 M 8 = ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 153
Each letter is replaced by the sign it stands for, and the expression is then worked out in the BODMAS order: division and multiplication before addition and subtraction.
14 N 10 L 42 P 2 M 8 becomes \(14\times10+42\div2-8\)
Multiplication and division first: \(140+21-8\)
\(=153\)
