Which of the numbers (not digits) should be interchanged in the given equation to make it mathematically correct?
4 + 6 × 3−5 ÷ 2 = 16
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 5 and 6
The given equation is: 4 + 6 × 3−5 ÷ 2 = 16
Checking each options one by one:
1. 5 and 6
4 + 5 × 3−6 ÷ 2 = 16
4 + 5 × 3−3 = 16
4 + 15 −3 = 16
16 = 16
16 is equal to 16.
The equation is balanced. So, no need to check other options.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
