Define the Operators
Given: A stands for /, B stands for , C stands for +, D stands for -. The mapping is: A=/, B=, C=+, D=-.
Evaluate Option D
Expression for D: 18 B 5 C 42 A 6 D 17. Substituting operators: 18 * 5 + 42 / 6 - 17. Applying BODMAS: First division (42 / 6 = 7), then multiplication (18 * 5 = 90), then addition/subtraction (90 + 7 - 17 = 97 - 17 = 80). The result is 80.
A: 18 - 5 / 42 * 6 + 17 does not equal 80 because 18 - 0.71 + 17 is approximately 34.29. B: 18 / 5 * 42 + 6 - 17 results in 151.2 + 6 - 17 = 140.2. C: 18 + 5 / 42 - 6 * 17 results in 18 + 0.119 - 102 = -83.88.
D is correct because substituting the given operators into the expression 18 B 5 C 42 A 6 D 17 yields (18 * 5) + (42 / 6) - 17 = 90 + 7 - 17 = 80.
When solving these, always evaluate the Division (A) first. If the number does not divide perfectly (e.g., 5/42 in option A), it is often an indicator that the expression will not result in an integer.
