Which of the following interchanges of signs would make the given equation correct?
162 ÷ 3 + 5 × 6 - 2 = 274
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. + and ×.
Given statement: 162 ÷ 3 + 5 × 6 - 2 = 274
As per the question, after interchanging the signs:
(162 ÷ 3 ) × 5 + 6 - 2 = 274
⇒ (54 × 5) + 6 - 2 = 274
⇒ (270 + 6) - 2 = 274
⇒ 276 - 2 = 274
⇒ 274 = 274
