syms x y A A=x^2*y; subs(A,{x y},{4 2e-8})
ans =
3022314549036573/9444732965739290427392 ----- wrong result!!!
syms x y A A=x^2*y; subs(A,{x y},{4 2e8})
ans =
3200000000 ------ correct result!!
How do I resolve this type of problem? Please help.

Rahul, the first result is correct as well. MATLAB simply outputted the result as a fraction. Use
double(subs(A,{x y},{4 2e-8}))
ans =
3.200000000000000e-07
which is the same as
3022314549036573/9444732965739290427392
ans =
3.200000000000000e-07
