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

× and –, 8 and 4

I. 4 + 3 × 8 – 2 ÷ 1 = 3

II. 8 × 2 – 4 + 6 ÷ 2 = 11

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Only II.

Given conditions: × and –, 8 and 4

After interchanging the expression becomes:

I. 8 + 3 - 4 × 2 ÷ 1 = 3

= 8 + 3 - 4 × 2

= 8 + 3 - 8 

= 3 is equal to 3

II. 8 × 2 – 4 + 6 ÷ 2 = 11

= 4 - 2 × 8 + 6 ÷ 2

= 4 - 2 × 8 + 3

= -9 is not equal to 11
