Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e. 4 - 8 + 11 = 1.

Understanding

Option 1) 2 + 8 - 4 = 9

after interchanging operations ‘+’ and ‘-’ and numbers ‘4’ and ‘8’

2 − 4 + 8 = 9 (not staisfied)

Option 2) 8 + 4 - 2 = 10

after interchanging operations ‘+’ and ‘-’ and numbers ‘4’ and ‘8’

4 − 8 + 2 = 10 (not staisfied)

Option 3) 4 - 8 + 11 = 1

after interchanging operations ‘+’ and ‘-’ and numbers ‘4’ and ‘8’

8 + 4 − 11 = 1 (staisfied)

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
