Correct Answer: 7 and 14, × and ÷
Solution : Given: 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
Let's check the options – First option: 7 and 6, × and ÷ Since there are two 6s in the equation, it is not clear which 6 needs to be interchanged. So, this option is incorrect. Second option: 7 and 14, × and ÷ On interchanging the numbers and symbols, the equation becomes – 14 ÷ 7 × 6 + 12 + 6 = 30 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 2 × 6 + 12 + 6 = 12 + 12 + 6 = 30 Third option: 7 and 6, ÷ and + Since there are two 6s in the equation, it is not clear which 6 needs to be interchanged. So, this option is incorrect. Fourth option: 6 and 14, × and + Since there are two 6s in the equation, it is not clear which 6 needs to be interchanged. So, this option is incorrect.
So, only the second option satisfies the condition. Hence, the second option is correct.
