Which two numbers from among the given options should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 

(134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 27 and 11.

Given equation: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11

Option 1: 27 and 11

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= (134 – 13) ÷ 11 × 3 – 6 = 27

= 121 ÷ 11 × 3 – 6

= 11 × 3 – 6

= 33 - 6

= 27 is equal to 27.

As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
