Given:

⇒ 14 − 19 + 240 × 16 ÷ 61

As per the given data:

Symbol Means
+ Subtraction
- Multiplication
÷ Addition
× Division

Given:

⇒ 14 − 19 + 240 × 16 ÷ 61

After changing the signs as per the table:

⇒ 14 ×​ 19 - 240 ÷ 16 + 61

Apply BODMAS rule:

⇒ 14 × 19 - 15 + 61

⇒ 266 - 15 + 61

⇒ 327 - 15 = 312

Here, the value of the equation is '312'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
