What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation if ‘+’ and ‘×’ are interchanged and ‘–’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?

16 − 2 × 42 + 13 ÷ 12 = ?

Given: 16 − 2 × 42 + 13 ÷ 12 = ?

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

16 ÷ 2 + 42 × 13 - 12 = ?

8 + 546 - 12 = ? 

554 - 12 = ? 

? = 542

Thus, the correct option is (b) 542.
