By Interchanging the given two numbers which of the following equation will be not correct?

3 and 8

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6 ÷ 2 × 8 + 3 – 1 = 17.

Given conditions: 3 and 8 are to be interchanged

Option 2: 6 ÷ 2 × 8 + 3 – 1 = 17

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 16 is not equal to 17.
