Correct Answer: 7 × 6 ÷ 3 + 9 – 8 = 17


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: 7 × 6 ÷ 3 + 9 – 8 = 17
On interchanging the given numbers and symbols, the equation becomes –
= 7 + 9 ÷ 3 × 6 – 8
= 7 + 18 – 8
= 17
Second option: 6 × 8 – 9 ÷ 3 + 5 = 50
On interchanging the given numbers and symbols, the equation becomes –
= 9 + 8 – 6 ÷ 3 × 5
= 9 + 8 – 10
= 17 – 10
= 7 ≠ 50
Third option: 7 + 6 × 4 ÷ 9 – 8 = 8
On interchanging the given numbers and symbols, the equation becomes –
= 7 × 9 + 4 ÷ 6 – 8
= 63 + 0.66 – 8
= 63.66 – 8
= 55.66 ≠ 8
Fourth option: 9 × 7 + 4 ÷ 1 – 6 = 7
On interchanging the given numbers and symbols, the equation becomes –
= 6 + 7 × 4 ÷ 1 – 9
= 6 + 7 × 4 – 9
= 6 + 28 – 9
= 25 ≠ 7

Hence, the first option is correct.
