Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 12 and 3

108 ÷ 3 – 126 ÷ ( 5 × 3 + 12) + 4 = 11

Option 1) 11 and 12

108 ÷ 3 – 126 ÷ ( 5 × 3 + 11) + 4 = 12

36 - 4.8 + 4

= 35.2 

Option 2) 12 and 3

108 ÷ 12 – 126 ÷ ( 5 × 12 + 3) + 4 = 11

9 - 126  ÷ 63 + 4

9 - 2 + 4

= 11

Hence, the correct answer is 12 and 3.
