Which two numbers need to be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

17 - 42 + 34 ÷ 2 × 27 = 274

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 17 and 27.

17 - 42 + 34 ÷ 2 × 27 = 274

Option 2: 17 and 27

27 - 42 + (34 ÷ 2) × 17 = 274

27 - 42 + (17 × 17) = 274

(27 + 289) - 42 = 274

316 - 42 = 274

274 = 274
