Find out the two signs to be interchanged to make the following equation correct.

22 + 11 × 22 - 2 ÷ 3 = 45

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. + and ÷.

Understanding

Given Equation: 22 + 11 × 22 - 2 ÷ 3 = 45

Check all the options:

Option 1: + and ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  22 ÷ 11 × 22 - 2 + 3

=  45 is equal to 45.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Option 2: × and ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  22 + 11 ÷ 22 - 2 × 3

= 16.5 is not equal to 45.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: - and ×

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  22 + 11 - 22 × 2 ÷ 3

=  18.33 is not equal to 45.

Hence, option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4: - and ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 22 + 11 × 22 ÷ 2 - 3

= 140 is not equal to 45.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
