Correct Answer: 24 D 12 B 3 A 12 = 18


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: 24 D 12 B 3 A 12 = 18
⇒ 24 ÷ 12 × 3 + 12 = 18
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 24 ÷ 12 × 3 + 12
= 2 × 3 + 12
= 6 + 12 = 18
= 18
Second option: 36 D 6 B 3 A 2 = 74
⇒ 36 ÷ 6 × 3 + 2 = 74
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 36 ÷ 6 × 3 + 2
= 6 × 3 + 2
= 18 + 2
= 20 ≠ 74
Third option: 42 A 7 B 2 D 2 = 35
⇒ 42 + 7 × 2 ÷ 2 = 35
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 42 + 7 × 2 ÷ 2
= 42 + 7 × 1
= 42 + 7
= 49 ≠ 35
Fourth option: 56 D 14 B 2 C 4 = 12
⇒ 56 ÷ 14 × 2 – 4 = 12
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 56 ÷ 14 × 2 – 4
= 4 × 2 – 4
= 8 – 4
= 4 ≠ 12

Only the first option satisfies the equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
