16 D 2 B 9 C 15 A 32 =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 89.

Given equation: 16 D 2 B 9 C 15 A 32 =?

Given conditions:

A denotes ‘+’, B denotes ‘×’, C denotes ‘-’, and D denotes ‘÷’

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 16 ÷ 2 × 9 - 15 + 32

= 8 × 9 - 15 + 32

= 72 - 15 + 32

= 89

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
