Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 3 and 4.

Given equation: 54 - (3 × 12) ÷ (8)1/3 + (11 ×  4) + 6 = 69

Option 1: 3 and 4

After interchanging the expression becomes:

54 - (4 × 12) ÷ (8)1/3 + (11 ×  3) + 6 = 69

54 - 48 ÷ 2 + 33 + 6 = 69

54 - 24 + 33 + 6 = 69

69 = 69
