Which of the following interchanges of numbers (not digits) would make the given equation correct?

480÷0.3×5+500190+9×27÷1.6=2\frac{480 ÷ 0.3 × 5 + 500}{190 + 9 × 27 ÷ 1.6} = 2

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 0.3 and 1.6.

Given: 480÷0.3×5+500190+9×27÷1.6=2\frac{480 ÷ 0.3 × 5 + 500}{190 + 9 × 27 ÷ 1.6} = 2

Option 2) 0.3 and 1.6

After interchanging the numbers: 

480÷1.6×5+500190+9×27÷0.3=2\frac{480 ÷ 1.6 × 5 + 500}{190 + 9 × 27 ÷ 0.3} = 2

300×5+500190+9×90=2\frac{300 × 5 + 500}{190 + 9 × 90} = 2

1500+500190+810=2\frac{1500 + 500}{190 + 810} = 2

20001000=2\frac{2000}{1000} = 2

2=2{2} = 2
