Question

If
P denotes 'multiplied by',
T denotes 'subtracted from',
M denotes 'added to',
B denotes 'divided by'
then, 28 B 7 P 8 T 6 M 8 = ?

• A. 32
• B. 28
• C. 34
• D. 40

Hint:

In symbol substitution questions, first replace every symbol by its actual mathematical operation and then solve according to BODMAS.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Replace each symbol with its corresponding mathematical operation and then apply the BODMAS rule.

Step 1: Replacing the symbols with actual operations.
Given: \[ P=\times,\qquad T=-,\qquad M=+,\qquad B=\div \] Therefore, \[ 28\ B\ 7\ P\ 8\ T\ 6\ M\ 8 \] becomes \[ 28 \div 7 \times 8 - 6 + 8 \]

Step 2: Applying BODMAS.
First perform division: \[ 28 \div 7 = 4 \] So, \[ 4 \times 8 - 6 + 8 \] Now multiplication: \[ 4 \times 8 = 32 \] Thus, \[ 32 - 6 + 8 \] \[ 26 + 8 \] \[ 34 \]

Step 3: Conclusion.
The value of the expression is \[ 34 \]
