SSC Stenographer - 13 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q156

Which two numbers (not digits) should be interchanged to make the given equation
correct?

27 × 3 – (7)2 + 19 + (69 ÷ 23) × 6 – 15 = 70

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7 and 6.

27 × 3 – (7)2 + 19 + (69 ÷ 23) × 6 – 15 = 70

After interchanging numbers, 

27 × 3 - (6)2 + 19 + (69 ÷ 23) × 7 - 15 = 70

81 - 36 + 19 + 3 × 7 - 15 = 70

100 - 36 + 21 - 15 = 70

121 - 51 = 70

70 = 70
