If 'J' means `xx`, 'K' means `'÷', 'Q'` means '+' and T means '-' then what is the value of:
26 J 74 K 4 T 5 Q 2

Options

A. 220
B. 478
C. 376
D. 488

Answer

To solve the expression \( 26 J 74 K 4 T 5 Q 2 \) using the given meanings of the symbols, we first need to replace the symbols with their corresponding mathematical operations:

- \( J \) means multiplication \( \times \)
- \( K \) means division \( \div \)
- \( T \) means subtraction \( - \)
- \( Q \) means addition \( + \)

Now, we can rewrite the expression:

\[ 26 J 74 K 4 T 5 Q 2 \quad \text{becomes} \quad 26 \times 74 \div 4 - 5 + 2 \]

Next, we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS):

1. **Multiplication and Division** (from left to right)
2. **Subtraction and Addition** (from left to right)

### Step 1: Perform Multiplication and Division

First, calculate \( 26 \times 74 \):

\[ 26 \times 74 = 1924 \]

Now, divide the result by \( 4 \):

\[ 1924 \div 4 = 481 \]

### Step 2: Perform Subtraction and Addition

Now, we will continue with the expression:

\[ 481 - 5 + 2 \]

First, perform the subtraction:

\[ 481 - 5 = 476 \]

Then, perform the addition:

\[ 476 + 2 = 478 \]

### Final Answer

Thus, the value of the expression \( 26 J 74 K 4 T 5 Q 2 \) is:

\[ \boxed{478} \]
