Question : Directions: Which of the following interchange of numbers (not digits) would make the given equation correct? 16 × 5 ÷ 20 + 6 + 50 = 40
Option 1: 40, 50
Option 2: 6, 40
Option 3: 20, 40
Option 4: 5, 40
Correct Answer: 40, 50
Solution : Given: 16 × 5 ÷ 20 + 6 + 50 = 40
Replace the given numbers in the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation. First option: 40, 50 ⇒ 16 × 5 ÷ 20 + 6 + 40 = 50 = 4 + 6 + 40 = 50 Second option: 6, 40 ⇒16 × 5 ÷ 20 + 40 + 50 = 6 = 4 + 40 + 50 = 94 ≠ 6 Third option: 20, 40 ⇒ 16 × 5 ÷ 40 + 6 + 50 = 20 = 2 + 6 + 50 = 58 ≠ 20 Fourth option: 5, 40 ⇒ 16 × 40 ÷ 20 + 6 + 50 = 5 = 32 + 6 + 50 = 88 ≠ 5
Here, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
