As per the given data:

Symbol Means
+ Multiplication
- Division
× Subtraction
÷ Addition

Given:

⇒ 26 + 342 - 19 × 73 ÷ 14

After changing the sign as per the table:

⇒ 26 × 342 ÷ 19 - 73 + 14

Apply BODMAS rule:

26 × 18 - 73 + 14

⇒ 468 - 73 + 14

⇒ 482 - 73 = 409

⇒ '26 × 342 ÷ 19 - 73 + 14 = 409'

Here, the value of the equation is '409'

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