    A.

    36 × 4 + 3 – 6 ÷ 16 = 7

    B.

    36 + 4 ÷ 3 × 6 – 16 = 40

    C.

    36 – 4 × 3 + 6 ÷ 16 = 60

    D.

    36 ÷ 4 – 3 × 6 + 16 = 22

    Correct option is C

    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\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}
    Given:
    Sign
    ÷
    +
    ×
    -
    Means
    +
    -
    ÷
    ×
    Evaluate each option:
    Option A: 36 × 4 + 3 – 6 ÷ 16 = 7
    New Equation:
    36 ÷ 4 − 3 × 6 + 16 = 7
    = 9 − 3 × 6 + 16
    = 9 - 18 + 16
    = 25 - 18
    = 7 = 7 (Follow)
    Option B: 36 + 4 ÷ 3 × 6 – 16 = 40
    New Equation:
    36 − 4 + 3 ÷ 6 × 16 = 40
    = 36 − 4 + 0.5 × 16 
    = 36−4 + 8 
    = 32 + 8
    = 40 = 40 (Follow)
    Option C: 36 – 4 × 3 + 6 ÷ 16 = 60
    New Equation:
    36 × 4 ÷ 3 − 6 + 16 = 60
    = 36 × 1.333 − 6 + 16
    = 48 + 16 - 6
    = 64 - 6
    = 58 \not= 60 (Not Follow)
    Option D: 36 ÷ 4 – 3 × 6 + 16 = 22
    New Equation:
    36 + 4 × 3 ÷ 6 − 16 = 22
    = 36 + 4 × 0.5 − 16
    = 36 + 2−16
    = 38 - 16
    = 22 = 22 (Follow)
    So, the option C is not correct .
    Thus, the correct option is: (c)
