SSC CGL - 02 Dec 2022 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q89

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

– and ×

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7 × 2 + 27 ÷ 9 – 4 = 18.

Given equation: – and ×

Option 1: 7 × 2 + 27 ÷ 9 – 4 = 18

After interchanging the expression becomes:

7 - 2 + 27 ÷ 9 × 4 = 18

= 7 - 2 + 3 × 4 

= 7 - 2 + 12 

= 19 - 2

= 17 

17 is not equal to 18.
