29+34├╖2тИТ4├Ч5
29├Ч34+2├╖4тИТ5
29тИТ34├Ч2+4├╖5

Mapping the operators
Replace letters with symbols: A is /, B is *, C is +, D is -. Option B becomes: 29 + 34 / 2 - 4 * 5
Applying BODMAS
Final Calculation
Add and subtract left to right: 29 + 17 = 46; 46 - 20 = 26. This matches the target value.
A: 29/34 is not an integer. C: 29 * 34 + 2 / 4 - 5 results in a value much greater than 26. D: 29 - 34 * 2 + 4 / 5 results in a negative value.
B is correct because the expression 29 + 34 / 2 - 4 * 5 evaluates to 26 according to the standard order of operations.
In arithmetic expression questions, always prioritize the division operator first to simplify the equation significantly, then eliminate options that do not yield integers.
