49
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is ,
BODMAS Table:
According to the question, the signs are substituted as follows:
| Alphabet | Sign |
|---|---|
| P | ÷ |
| R | × |
| S | + |
| Q | − |
**Given expression:**109 S 256 P 8 Q 2 R 17 Q 58 = ?
After replacing and apply the BODMAS rule:
= 109 + 256 ÷ 8 - 2 × 17 − 58
= 109 + 32 - 2 × 17 − 58
= 109 + 32 - 34 − 58
= 141- 92
= 49
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 3"
