Correct Answer: Only I


Solution : Given:
8 and 7
I. 8 + 7 × 9 ÷ 3 – 6 = 25
II. 7 × 5 – 8 + 6 ÷ 2 = 38

After interchanging the numbers the equations are as follows –
I. 7 + 8 × 9 ÷ 3 – 6 = 25
= 7 + 24 – 6
= 25
II. 8 × 5 – 7 + 6 ÷ 2 = 38
= 40 – 7 + 3
= 36 ≠ 38

Therefore, only the equation I satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
