Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : Given:
+ and × are interchanged.
I.15 + 5 ÷ 1 – 9 × 4 = 70
II.18 × 17 + 3 – 6 ÷ 2 = 133

After interchanging the symbols the equation becomes –
I.15 × 5 ÷ 1 – 9 + 4 = 70
= 75 – 5
= 70 = R.H.S.
II.18 + 17 × 3 – 6 ÷ 2 = 133
= 18 + 17 × 3 – 3
= 18 + 51 – 3
= 66 ≠ 133

So, the equation II is not correct. Hence, the second option is correct.
