If the signs ‘+’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged, then which of the following equations can be correctly balanced?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 22 + 11 × 8 ÷ 3 = 19.
Given conditions: signs ‘+’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged
Option 1: 22 + 11 × 8 ÷ 3 = 19
After interchanging the expression becomes:
⇒ (22 ÷ 11) × 8 + 3 = 19
⇒ (2 × 8) + 3 = 19
⇒ 19 = 19
