Given equation: (121 S 46) R 19 Q 5 R 126 P 6 S 38 = ?

Letter P Q R S
Stands for ÷ × + -

After changing the letters, the equation we get: (121 - 46) + 19 × 5 + 126 ÷ 6 - 38 = ?

→ (121 - 46) + 19 × 5 + 126 ÷ 6 - 38 = ?

→ 75 + 19 × 5 + 126 ÷ 6 - 38 = ?

→ 75 + 19 × 5 + 21 - 38 = ?

75 + 95 + 21 - 38 = ?

→ 191 - 38 = ?

→ 153 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "153".
