Which two numbers (not digits) should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
48 + 12 × 8 - 24 ÷ 8 = 114
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 48 and 24
Given equation: 48 + 12 × 8 - 24 ÷ 8 = 114
After interchanging the numbers:
24 + 12 × 8 - (48 ÷ 8) = 114
⇒ 24 + (12 × 8) - 6 = 114
⇒ (24 + 96) - 6 = 114
⇒ 120 - 6 = 114
⇒ 114 = 114
