Question :

Directions: In the following question you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols.
If P denotes ÷, Q denotes ×, R denotes +, and S denotes –, then 16 Q 12 P 6 R 5 S 4 = ?

Option 1: 31

Option 2: 32

Option 3: 33

Option 4: 30

Correct Answer: 33

Solution : Given:
P denotes ÷, Q denotes ×, R denotes + and S denotes –
16 Q 12 P 6 R 5 S 4 = ?

On replacing the sign as per the instruction, we will get –
= 16 × 12 ÷ 6 + 5 – 4
= 16 × 2 + 5 – 4
= 32 + 5 – 4
= 33

Therefore, the required answer to the given equation is 33. Hence, the third option is correct.
