If ‘÷’ means ‘+’, ‘×’ means ‘-’, ‘+’ means ‘÷’ and‘-’ means ‘×’,select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following equation.

9 × 16 + 8 ÷ 6 – 3 = 32 + ? ÷ 3 – 8​​

Given: 9 × 16 + 8 ÷ 6 – 3 = 32 + ? ÷ 3 – 8​​

Given equation is solve by BODMAS rule.

​$$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}$$

New equation: 9 - 16 ÷ 8 + 6 × 3 = 32 ÷ ? + 3 × 8

9 - 2 + 18 = 32 ÷ ? + 24

27 - 2 = 32 ÷ ? + 24

25 = 32 ÷ ? + 24

25  - 24 = 32 ÷ ?

1 = 32 ÷ ?

? = 32 ÷ 1

? = 32

Thus, correct option is (c).
