Calculate powers individually first (23=8 and 42=16), add them, and divide by 2.
Forgetting the order of operations and attempting to cancel terms incorrectly without evaluating the numerator first.
Evaluate the cube of 2
Calculate the value of the exponent term 23 in the numerator.
23=8
Evaluate the square of 4
Calculate the value of the exponent term 42 in the numerator.
42=16
Add the numerator terms
Sum the evaluated values obtained from the powers: 8+16.
8+16=24
Divide by the denominator
Divide the total numerator sum by 2 to find the final result.
224тАЛ=12
A is correct because the evaluated value of the expression (8+16)/2 is equal to 12.
Mastering basic exponent rules and order of operations is essential for simplifying complex algebraic expressions in quantitative aptitude sections.
