2 B ? D 2 = 4 B 32 D 8

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 16.

Given conditions: A denotes ‘+’, B denotes ‘×’, C denotes ‘−’, and D denotes ‘÷’

Given equation: 2 B ? D 2 = 4 B 32 D 8

After interchanging the expression becomes:

2 × ? ÷ 2 = 4 × 32 ÷ 8

2 × ? ÷ 2 = 4 × 4

2 × ? ÷ 2 = 16

⇒ ? = 16
