Which two numbers (not the digits of the numbers) and two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
25 ÷ 12 × 5 − 36 + 24 = 72
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 5 and 12; + and −.
25 ÷ 12 × 5 − 36 + 24 = 72
After interchanging signs and numbers,
(25 ÷ 5) × 12 + 36 - 24 = 72
5 × 12 + 12 = 72
60 + 12 = 72
72 = 72
