Given equation: 14 C (18 D 3) A 5 = ?

Decoding the given information :

Symbol A B C D
Means + × - ÷

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

New equation : 14 - (18 ÷ 3) + 5 = ?

Calculation :

⇒ 14 - (18 ÷ 3) + 5 = ?

⇒ 14 - 6 + 5 = ?

⇒ 19 - 6 = 13.

Hence, the correct answer is "13".
