What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions ?
`2^(8) + 2^(4) = ?`

Options

A. 172
B. 312
C. 272
D. 256

Answer

To solve the equation \(2^{8} + 2^{4} = ?\), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate \(2^{8}\)
First, we need to find the value of \(2^{8}\):
\[ 2^{8} = 256 \]

### Step 2: Calculate \(2^{4}\)
Next, we calculate \(2^{4}\):
\[ 2^{4} = 16 \]

### Step 3: Add the two results
Now, we add the results from Step 1 and Step 2:
\[ 256 + 16 = 272 \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{272} \]
