Solution

The Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) is a mathematical notation where every operator follows all of its operands. It is also known as postfix notation.

Here's how you can solve the expression "3 4 + 2 *":

  1. Start from the left, find the first operator (+). The numbers before this operator are 3 and 4.
  2. Perform the addition operation on these two numbers (3 + 4 = 7).
  3. Replace "3 4 +" in the original expression with the result from step 2. The expression now becomes "7 2 *".
  4. Now, find the next operator (*). The numbers before this operator are 7 and 2.
  5. Perform the multiplication operation on these two numbers (7 * 2 = 14).
  6. Replace "7 2 *" in the expression with the result from step 5. The expression now becomes "14".

So, the result of the expression "3 4 + 2 *" in Reverse Polish Notation is 14. Therefore, the correct answer is d)14.
