Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : Given:
+ and ÷ are interchanged –
I. 4 ÷ 2 + 1 – 8 × 3 = –10
II. 18 ÷ 2 – 8 + 4 × 3 = 14

For equation I –
After interchanging the given symbols, we get –
⇒ 4 + 2 ÷ 1 – 8 × 3
⇒ 4 + 2 – 8 × 3
⇒ 4 + 2 – 24
⇒ –18 ≠ –10
For equation II –
After interchanging the given symbols, we get –
⇒ 18 + 2 – 8 ÷ 4 × 3
⇒ 18 + 2 – 2 × 3
⇒ 18 + 2 – 6
⇒ 14 = 14

So, only equation II gives the required answer. Hence, the first option is correct.
