If ' I ' stands for ' + ', 'J' stands for ' ( ) ', 'K' stands for ' ( ) ', and 'L' stands for ' - ', what will come in place of the question mark '?' in the following equation? (38I(3 J 4) L (16 ~K 2)I 11= ) ?

Step-by-step solution

Given Equation: (38 I (3 ~J 4) L (16 ~K 2) I 11= ) ? BODMAS Rule: ( array |c|c| B & Brackets in order (), ,[] O & of D & Division ( ) M & Multiplication (x) A & Addition (+) S & Subtraction (-) array ) Decoding the given information: ( array |l|c|c|c|c| Alphabet & I & J & K & L Meaning & + & & & - array ) Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get: ( aligned & 38+(3 4)-(16 2)+11=? & 38+12-8+11=? & 61-8=53 . aligned ) Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".
