SSC CGL - 25 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q77

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

784 ÷ 6 × 9 - 30 + 14 = 528

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 14 and 6, + and -.

Given equation: 784 ÷ 6 × 9 - 30 + 14 = 528

After interchanging the expression becomes:

(784 ÷ 14) × 9 + 30 - 6 = 528

⇒ (56 × 9) + 30 - 6 = 528

⇒ (504 + 30) - 6 = 528

⇒ 534 - 6 = 528

⇒ 528 = 528
