Given Equation: 6 C 7 C 8 B 71 A 11 B 32 C 2 = ?

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:

6 × 7 × 8 - 71 + 11 - 32 × 2 = ?

⇒ 336 - 71 + 11 - 64 = ?

347 - 71 - 64 = 212.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".
