Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 9.

Understanding

Given Equation: 21 ÷ 8 + 2 - 12 × 3 =?

+ → ×

- → +

× → ÷

÷ → -

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  21 - 8 × 2 + 12 ÷ 3

=  21 - 8 × 2 + 4

=  21 - 16 + 4

=  21 - 12

=  9

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
