Correct Answer :

Option D

20

Solution :

The correct answer is 20.

To find the value that comes in place of the question mark (?), we need to substitute the given symbols with their corresponding mathematical operators:

A stands for division (÷)
B stands for multiplication (×)
C stands for addition (+)
D stands for subtraction (–)

Given Equation:

70 D 11 B 5 C 45 A 9 = ?

Step 1: Replace the symbols with mathematical operators.

70 – 11 × 5 + 45 ÷ 9 = ?

Step 2: Apply the BODMAS / PEMDAS rule (Division and Multiplication first from left to right, followed by Addition and Subtraction).

First, perform the division:

45÷9=5

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

70 – 11 × 5 + 5 = ?

Next, perform the multiplication:

11×5=55

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

70 – 55 + 5 = ?

Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

Subtract 55 from 70:

7055=15

Finally, add 5:

15+5=20

Therefore, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 20.
