Correct Answer: 7, 14
Solution : Given: 7 × 4 ÷ 14 + 12 + 30 = 50
Let's check the given options – First option: 12, 14 On interchanging the numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 × 4 ÷ 12 + 14 + 30 = 50 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 7 × 0.33 + 14 + 30 = 2.31 + 14 + 30 = 46.31 ≠ 50 Second option: 7, 14 On interchanging the numbers, we get – ⇒ 14 × 4 ÷ 7 + 12 + 30 = 50 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 + 12 + 30 = 50 Third option: 4, 7 On interchanging the numbers, we get – ⇒ 4 × 7 ÷ 14 + 12 + 30 = 50 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 4 × 0.5 + 12 + 30 = 2 + 12 + 30 = 44 ≠ 50 Fourth option: 30, 50 On interchanging the numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 × 4 ÷ 14 + 12 + 50 = 30 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 2 + 12 + 50 = 64 ≠ 30
So, only the second option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
