CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Division does not carry over ( $36 \div 4 = 9$ , but 47 is not a multiple of 4), so look at the digits: $3 + 6 = 9$ .
For 47: $4 + 7 = 11$ .

Worth noting

28 multiplies the digits $(4 \times 7)$ ; for 36 that would give 18, not 9. 74 just reverses the digits and 3 is their difference.
