Correct Answer: 18 + 6 ÷ 5 = 9.6


Solution : Interchange ÷ and +, 6 and 5 in the given options one by one.
First option: 18 + 6 ÷ 5 = 9.6
= 18 ÷ 5 + 6
= 3.6 + 6
= 9.6
Second option: 26 ÷ 5 + 6 = 6.4
= 26 + 6 ÷ 5
= 26 + 1.2
27.2 ≠ 6.4
Third option: 5 ÷ 6 + 80 = 5.8
= 6 + 5 ÷ 80
= 6 + 0.0625
6.0625 ≠ 5.8
Fourth option: 90 + 5 ÷ 6 = 8.6
= 90 ÷ 6 + 5
= 15 + 5
20 ≠ 8.6

So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
