Which two numbers(not digits) and two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
100 5 - 110 2 + 12 = 210
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 5 and 2; + and -
100 5 - 110 2 + 12 = 210
After interchanging numbers and signs 2 and 12; and +;
100 + 5 - 110 ÷ 12 × 2 = 210
100 + 5 - 9.17 × 2 = 210
105 - 18.34 = 210
86.67 = 210
After interchanging numbers and signs 5 and 2; + and -;
100 × 2 + 110 ÷ 5 - 12 = 210
200 + 22 - 12 = 210
222 - 12 = 210
210 = 210
Thus, no need to check further options.
Hence, the correct answer is 5 and 2; + and -.
