Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 14, 16.

Given conditions: × and ÷, 7 and 9

I. 8 × 3 ÷ 6 + 9 – 7

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 8 ÷ 3 × 6 + 7 – 9 = 14

II. 9 – 7 × 1 + 6 ÷ 3

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 7 – 9 ÷ 1 + 6 × 3

= 7 – 9 + 6 × 3 = 16
