If 'P' stands for '÷', 'Q' stands for 'x', 'R' stands for '+' and 'S' stands for '-', then the resultant of which of the following would be 14? Option 1: 38 R 16 P 3 S 96 Q 4 Option 2: 38 S 16 Q 3 R 96 P 4 Option 3: 38 Q 16 S 3 P 96 R 4 Option 4: 38 P 16 R 3 Q 96 S 4

Answer: 38 S 16 Q 3 R 96 P 4. Solution: Substitute the symbols with their respective mathematical operations: * P = * Q = x * R = + * S = - Now, evaluate Option 2 using the order of operations (BODMAS): 38 S 16 Q 3 R 96 P 4 = 38 - 16 x 3 + 96 4 = 38 - 48 + 24 = -10 + 24 = 14 This matches the required resultant.

If 'P' stands for '÷', 'Q' stands for 'x', 'R' stands for '+' and 'S' stands for '-', then the resultant of which of the following would be 14?

38 R 16 P 3 S 96 Q 4

38 S 16 Q 3 R 96 P 4

38 Q 16 S 3 P 96 R 4

38 P 16 R 3 Q 96 S 4

✅ Correct Option: 2

Substitute the symbols with their respective mathematical operations:

P = $\div$
Q = $\times$
R = +
S = -

Now, evaluate Option 2 using the order of operations (BODMAS):

$38 \text{ S } 16 \text{ Q } 3 \text{ R } 96 \text{ P } 4$

$= 38 - 16 \times 3 + 96 \div 4$

$= 38 - 48 + 24$

$= -10 + 24$

$= 14$

This matches the required resultant.
