If L stands for + M stands for -, N stands for X, P stands for ÷ then what is the value of 7N12L48P4M6? Options are (a) 98 (b) 90 (c) 94 (d) 92 .

Options

A. 98
B. 90
C. 94
D. 92

Answer

To solve the expression \( 7N12L48P4M6 \) with the given symbols, we first need to replace the symbols with their corresponding mathematical operations:

- \( L \) stands for \( + \) (addition)
- \( M \) stands for \( - \) (subtraction)
- \( N \) stands for \( \times \) (multiplication)
- \( P \) stands for \( \div \) (division)

Now, let's rewrite the expression using these operations:

\[ 7N12L48P4M6 \implies 7 \times 12 + 48 \div 4 - 6 \]

Next, we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS), which stands for Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

### Step 1: Perform the multiplication and division first.

1. Calculate \( 7 \times 12 \):
\[ 7 \times 12 = 84 \]

2. Calculate \( 48 \div 4 \):
\[ 48 \div 4 = 12 \]

Now we can substitute these results back into the expression:

\[ 84 + 12 - 6 \]

### Step 2: Perform the addition and subtraction.

1. Calculate \( 84 + 12 \):
\[ 84 + 12 = 96 \]

2. Now subtract \( 6 \) from \( 96 \):
\[ 96 - 6 = 90 \]

Thus, the final value of the expression \( 7N12L48P4M6 \) is:

\[ \boxed{90} \]
