Question

If $M$ denotes $÷$, $L$ denotes $-$, $P$ denotes $\times$ and $J$ denotes $+$, then find the value of $25M5L10P2J15.$

• A. $0$
• B. $15$
• C. $5$
• D. $10$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0$

Expression: $25M5L10P2J15$

Let's first replace the latters with operators in the expression according to the mapping given in the question,
$M$ denotes $÷$
$L$ denotes $-$
$P$ denotes $\times$
$J$ denotes $+$

With the operators, expression can be written as:
$25÷5-10\times 2+15$

Now, let's calculate the value of the expression using BODMAS rule,
$25÷5-10\times 2+15\Rightarrow 5-10\times 2+15\Rightarrow 5-20+15\Rightarrow 0$

Hence, the value of the expression is 0.
So, the correct option is (b).
