Given Equation: 3 A 6 C 6 B 2 D 4 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Alphabet A B C D
Meaning × ÷ - +

 

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 3 × 6 - 6 ÷ 2 + 4 = ?

3 × 6 - 3 + 4 = ?

⇒ 18 - 3 + 4 = ?

⇒ 22 - 3 = 19.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".
