Given Equation: 96 A 4 D 5 B 7 C 20 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Alphabet A B C D
Meaning ÷ × + -

 

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

96 ÷ 4 - 5 × 7 + 20 = ?

 24 - 5 × 7 + 20 = ?

⇒ 24 - 35 + 20 = ?

⇒ 24 - 35 + 20 = ?

⇒ 44 - 35 = 9.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".
