SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q78

By interchanging which two signs and two numbers (not digits) the equation will be correct?

8 - 4 × 9 + 6 ÷ 3 = 29 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. - and ×, 6 and 9

After interchanging the signs and the numbers, the equation will be: 

8 × 4 - 6 + (9 ÷ 3) = 29 

(8 × 4) - 6 + 3 = 29 

(32 + 3) - 6 = 29 

35 - 6 = 29 

29 = 29 

So, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
