Question

If P means division, T means addition, M means subtraction and D means multiplication, then the value of: 
\(8 \ \text{D} \ 16 \ \text{P} \ 32 \ \text{T} \ 16 \ \text{D} \ 32 \ \text{P} \ 64\) is:

• A. 12
• B. 23
• C. 6
• D. 3

Hint:

After translating symbol-meaning questions, keep the \emph{original order} and evaluate left to right using normal precedence (\(\times,\div\) before \(+\,-\)).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Replace the symbols: \( \text{D}\to\times,\ \text{P}\to\div,\ \text{T}\to+\).
Expression \(= 8\times16 \div 32 + 16\times32 \div 64\).
Compute left part: \(8\times16=128,\ 128\div32=4\).
Compute right part: \(16\times32=512,\ 512\div64=8\).
Add: \(4+8=12\).
\(\boxed{12}\)
