Solve the given equation by replacing the question mark "?" with the most appropriate option:
\(16^2+8^2-16*8=?\)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 192
By the order of operations (BODMAS), the powers and the multiplication are worked out first, then the addition and subtraction from left to right; the * stands for multiplication.
Powers and the product first: \(16^2=256\), \(8^2=64\) and \(16\times8=128\)
Then add and subtract from left to right: \(256+64-128=320-128=192\)
