What should come in place of question mark (?) in following questions ?
`4 xx (? + 120) = (8)^(3)`

Options

A. 6
B. 12
C. 8
D. 4

Answer

To solve the equation \( 4 \times (? + 120) = 8^3 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate \( 8^3 \)
First, we need to calculate \( 8^3 \):
\[ 8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512 \]

### Step 2: Rewrite the equation
Now, we can rewrite the equation using the value we found:
\[ 4 \times (? + 120) = 512 \]

### Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate the term in the parentheses:
\[ ? + 120 = \frac{512}{4} \]
Calculating the right side:
\[ \frac{512}{4} = 128 \]
So, we have:
\[ ? + 120 = 128 \]

### Step 4: Subtract 120 from both sides
Now, we will subtract 120 from both sides to solve for the question mark:
\[ ? = 128 - 120 \]
Calculating the right side:
\[ ? = 8 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value that should come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{8} \]
