Solution : Given: 5 and 9
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: 9 × 4 + 5 – 8 ÷ 2 = 25 ⇒ 5 × 4 + 9 – 8 ÷ 2 = 5 × 4 + 9 – 4 = 20 + 9 – 4 = 25 Second option: 9 – 5 × 4 + 6 ÷ 3 = –30 ⇒ 5 – 9 × 4 + 6 ÷ 3 = 5 – 9 × 4 + 2 = 5 – 36 + 2 –29 ≠ –30 Third option: 9 + 7 × 8 ÷ 4 – 5 = 10 ⇒ 5 + 7 × 8 ÷ 4 – 9 = 5 + 7 × 2 – 9 = 5 + 14 – 9 = 10 Fourth option: 9 – 4 × 5 + 6 ÷ 2 = –28 ⇒ 5 – 4 × 9 + 6 ÷ 2 = 5 – 4 × 9 + 3 = 5 – 36 + 3 = –28
Here, only the second option doesn't satisfy the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
