Correct Answer: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 7 – 3 × 2 ÷ 6 + 4 = 17 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 + 6 × 2 ÷ 3 – 4 = 17 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 7 + 6 × 2 ÷ 3 – 4 = 7 + 4 – 4 = 11 – 4 = 7 ≠ 17 Second option: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 8 × 6 + 3 – 4 ÷ 2 = 49 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 × 6 + 3 – 4 ÷ 2 = 8 × 6 + 3 – 2 = 48 + 3 – 2 = 51 – 2 = 49 Third option: 7 + 6 ÷ 3 × 8 – 5 = 35 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 – 3 ÷ 6 × 8 + 5 = 35 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 7 – 3 ÷ 6 × 8 + 5 = 7 – 4 + 5 = 12 – 4 = 8 ≠ 35 Fourth option: 9 – 6 ÷ 4 + 3 × 7 = 8 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 9 + 3 ÷ 4 – 6 × 7 = 8 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 9 + 3 ÷ 4 – 6 × 7 = 9 + 0.75 – 6 × 7 = 9 + 0.75 – 42 = 9.75 – 42 = –32.25 ≠ 8
So, only the second option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
