Question

If Q means 'add to', J means 'multiplied by', T means 'subtract from' and K means 'divide by', then 30 K 2 Q 3 J 6 T 5 = ?

• A. 18
• B. 28
• C. 31
• D. 38

Hint:

In such problems, always substitute the operation symbols first before performing calculations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the expression "30 K 2 Q 3 J 6 T 5", we need to replace the placeholders with their respective arithmetic operations and then evaluate the expression step by step.
Given:

• Q means 'add to' (represented by +)
• J means 'multiplied by' (represented by ×)
• T means 'subtract from' (represented by -)
• K means 'divide by' (represented by ÷)

The expression becomes:
30 ÷ 2 + 3 × 6 - 5
Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left-to-right), Addition/Subtraction (left-to-right)), we solve it as follows:

1. Division: 30 ÷ 2 = 15
2. The expression now is: 15 + 3 × 6 - 5
3. Multiplication: 3 × 6 = 18
4. The expression now is: 15 + 18 - 5
5. Addition: 15 + 18 = 33
6. The expression now is: 33 - 5
7. Subtraction: 33 - 5 = 28

Therefore, the result of the expression is 28.
