Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 22.

Understanding

Given equation: 

If '×' means '-', '÷' means '+', '+' means '×' and '-' means '÷'

16 ÷ 32 - 4 × 2 + 1 = ?

Let us check all the options:

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 16 + 32 ÷ 4 - 2 × 1

= 16 + 8 - 2 × 1

= 16 + 8 - 2

= 24 - 2

= 22

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
