Which two signs and two numbers should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
14 × 6 ÷ 12 + 15 − 9 = 203
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15, 6, +, ÷.
Given equation: 14 × 6 ÷ 12 + 15 − 9 = 203
Option 1: 15, 6, +, ÷
After interchanging the expression becomes:
14 × 15 + 12 ÷ 6 − 9 = 203
14 × 15 + 2 − 9 = 203
210 + 2 - 9 = 203
203 = 203
