Which two signs should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
24 ÷ 2 + 13 - 54 × 2 = 34
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. × and ÷
Given equation: 24 ÷ 2 + 13 - 54 × 2 = 34
From option 2 by interchanging signs × and ÷, we get
24 × 2 + 13 - (54 ÷ 2) = 34
⇒ (24 × 2) + 13 - 27 = 34
⇒ (48 + 13) - 27 = 34
⇒ 61 - 27 = 34
Hence, option 2 is correct.
