Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 27, 42.

Given conditions: – and ×, 6 and 4

After interchanging the expression becomes:

I. 7 × 6 + 8 ÷ 2 – 4

= 7 - 4 + 8 ÷ 2 × 6

= 7 - 4 + 4 × 6 = 27

II. 4 – 7 × 6 + 8 ÷ 2

= 6 × 7 - 4 + 8 ÷ 2

= 6 × 7 - 4 + 4 = 42
