Correct Answer: 5 and 10; + and ÷
Solution : Given: 28 + 7 × 10 ÷ 5 − 20 = 5
Interchanging of numbers and mathematical signs given in the options, First option: 10 and 20; × and + 28 + 7 × 10 ÷ 5 − 20 = 5 ⇒ 28 × 7 + 20 ÷ 5 − 10 = 5 ⇒ 28 × 7 + 4 − 10 = 5 ⇒ 196 + 4 − 10 = 5 ⇒ 200 − 10 = 190 ≠ 5 ⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Second option: 5 and 20; − and ÷ 28 + 7 × 10 ÷ 5 − 20 = 20 ⇒ 28 + 7 × 10 − 20 ÷ 5 = 20 ⇒ 28 + 7 × 10 − 4 = 20 ⇒ 28 + 70 − 4 = 20 ⇒ 98 − 4 = 94 ≠ 20 ⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Third option: 7 and 28; × and ÷ 28 + 7 × 10 ÷ 5 − 20 = 5 ⇒ 7 + 28 ÷ 10 × 5 − 20 = 5 ⇒ 7 + 2.8 × 5 − 20 = 5 ⇒ 7 − 6 = 1 ≠ 5 ⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Fourth option: 5 and 10; + and ÷ 28 + 7 × 10 ÷ 5 − 20 = 5 ⇒ 28 ÷ 7 × 5 + 10 − 20 = 10 ⇒ 4 × 5 + 10 − 20 = 10 ⇒ 20 + 10 − 20 = 10 ⇒ 30 − 20 = 10 = R.H.S
So, the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
