32 B 4A 12 B (35 A 24 ) C 52 D 4

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 9.

Understanding

Given equation:32 B 4A 12 B (35 A 24 ) C 52 D 4

Given conditions:

A → -

B → ×

C → +

D → ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 32 × 4 - 12 × (35 - 24 ) + 52 ÷ 4

= 32 × 4 - 12 × 11 + 52 ÷ 4

= 32 × 4 - 12 × 11 + 13

= 128 - 12 × 11 + 13

= 128 - 132 + 13 

= 9

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
