If 4 $ 4 # 2 = 8 and 3 $ 8 # 2 = 12, then 7 $ 6 # 3 = ?

A14

B16

C9

D11

Answer:

A. 14

Read Explanation:

Let's analyze the given examples to find the pattern:

  • 4 $ 4 # 2 = 8

  • 3 $ 8 # 2 = 12

It seems that the "$" symbol represents multiplication, and the "#" symbol represents division.

Let's test this:

  • 4 * 4 / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 (This works!)

  • 3 * 8 / 2 = 24 / 2 = 12 (This works!)

Therefore, the pattern is: a $ b # c = (a * b) / c

Now, let's apply this to 7 $ 6 # 3:

  • 7 * 6 / 3 = 42 / 3 = 14

So, 7 $ 6 # 3 = 14.
