Question : 14 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

If “P” denotes “multiplied by”, “R” denotes “subtracted from”, “S” denotes “added to” and “Q” denotes “divided by”, then which of the following equation is true?

18 R 60 Q 15 S 2 = 8
15 S 16 Q 2 P 4 = 47
3 P 5 R 18 Q 3 = 6
15 S 2 8 Q 4 P 2 =27

Solution:

Concept:

The letter codes must be replaced by their given arithmetic operations before simplifying.

Explanation:

Given:

P=\times

,

S=+

, and

Q=\div

.

Check option B:

15\,S\,16\,Q\,2\,P\,4=47

.

Substitute the symbols:

15+16\div2\times4=47

Apply BODMAS, division first:

16\div2=8

Then multiply:

8\times4=32

Now add:

15+32=47

So,

47=47

, which is true.

The other options do not satisfy their given RHS after substitution.

Answer:

Option B is correct.
