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

24 ÷ 4 - 18 + 2 × 5 = 14

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. + and -.

Given equation: 24 ÷ 4 - 18 + 2 × 5 = 14

After interchanging the signs:

(24 ÷ 4) + 18 - (2 × 5) = 14

⇒ 6 + 18 - 10 = 14

⇒ 24 - 10 = 14

⇒ 14 = 14
