Which two signs and two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

6 ÷ 3 × 2 + 4 - 7 = 26.5

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3 and 6, - and ×

Given equation: 6 ÷ 3 × 2 + 4 - 7 = 26.5

After interchanging signs and numbers:

(3 ÷ 6) - 2 + (4 × 7) = 26.5

⇒ .5 - 2 + 28 = 26.5

⇒ 28.5 - 2 = 26.5

⇒ 26.5 = 26.5
