In option 1 (8, 9) 5 × 2 + 9 ÷ 2 – 1 = 8 – 6 ÷ 3 + 6 × 3 5 x 2 + 4.5 - 1 = 8 - 2 + 6 x 3 10 + 4.5 - 1 = 8 - 2 + 18 13.5 ≠ 24 In option 2 ( 5, 9) 9 × 2 + 8 ÷ 2 – 1 = 5 – 6 ÷ 3 + 6 × 3 18 + 4 - 1 = 5 - 2 + 18 21 = 21 In option 3 (2, 6) 5 × 6 + 8 ÷ 6 – 1 = 9 – 2 ÷ 3 + 2 × 3 30 + 1.3 - 1 = 9 - 0.6 + 6 30.3 ≠14.4 In option 4 (1, 9) 5 × 2 + 8 ÷ 2 – 9 = 1 – 6 ÷ 3 + 6 × 3 10 + 4 - 9 = 1 - 2 + 18 5 ≠ 17 Hence, option 2 i.e. 5, 9 is the correct answer. |
