Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 2 and 8
(240 ÷ 2 + 5) × 8 + 15 × 8 = 100
Option 1 2 and 8
Interchange 2 and 8
(240 ÷ 8 + 5) × 2 + 15 × 2 = 100
35 × 2 + 15 × 2 = 100
70 + 30 = 100
100 = 100
No need to solve this further.
Hence, the correct answer is 2 and 8.
