Correct Answer: 7 × 6 – 4 + 9 ÷ 3 = –7
Solution : Given: × and +, 6 and 4
Let's check the given options – First option: 3 × 9 – 4 ÷ 2 + 6 = 8 On interchanging the signs and numbers, we get – 3 + 9 – 6 ÷ 2 × 4 = 8 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 3 + 9 – 6 ÷ 2 × 4 = 3 + 9 – 3 × 4 = 3 + 9 – 12 = 12 – 12 = 0 ≠ 8 Second option: 8 × 6 + 4 ÷ 2 – 5 = –5 On interchanging the signs and numbers, we get – 8 + 4 × 6 ÷ 2 – 5 = –5 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 + 4 × 6 ÷ 2 – 5 = 8 + 4 × 3 – 5 = 8 + 12 – 5 = 20 – 5 = 15 ≠ –5 Third option: 8 – 3 × 6 + 4 ÷ 1 = 18 On interchanging the signs and numbers, we get – 8 – 3 + 4 × 6 ÷ 1 = 18 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 – 3 + 4 × 6 ÷ 1 = 8 – 3 + 4 × 6 = 8 – 3 + 24 = 32 – 3 = 29 ≠ 18 Fourth option: 7 × 6 – 4 + 9 ÷ 3 = –7 On interchanging the signs and numbers, we get – 7 + 4 – 6 × 9 ÷ 3 = –7 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 7 + 4 – 6 × 9 ÷ 3 = 7 + 4 – 6 × 3 = 7 + 4 – 18 = 11 – 18 = –7
So, from the above, only the fourth option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
