SSC CPO - 28 June 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q187

Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?

10 + 23 - 3 × 63 ÷ 7 = 70

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. - and ×.

10 + 23 - 3 × 63 ÷ 7 = 70

After interchanging signs, 

⇒ 10 + 23 × 3 - (63 ÷ 7) = 70

⇒ 10 + (23 × 3) - 9 = 70

⇒ 10 + 69 - 9 = 70

⇒ 79 - 9 = 70

⇒ 70 = 70
