By interchanging the given two signs and numbers which of the following equation will be not correct?

× and ÷, 2 and 6

I. 7 – 4 × 3 ÷ 6 + 2 = 8

II. 6 – 8 × 2 + 9 ÷ 3 = 5

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Both I and II.

Given conditions: × and ÷, 2 and 6

After interchanging the expression becomes:

I. 7 – 4 × 3 ÷ 6 + 2 = 8 = 7 – 4 ÷ 3 × 2 + 6

= 10.33 is not equal to 8.

II. 6 – 8 × 2 + 9 ÷ 3 = 5

 2 – 8 ÷ 6  + 9 × 3 ⇒ 27.66 = 5
