Correct Answer: 78 and 14
Solution : Given: 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ ( 78 × 1 – 8) = 14
Interchanging the numbers as given in the options – First option: 78 and 216 168 ÷ 4 + 78 ÷ ( 216 × 1 – 8) = 14 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 78 ÷ ( 216 – 8) = 14 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 78 ÷ 208 = 14 ⇒ 42 + 0.375 = 42.375 ≠ 14 Second option: 14 and 8 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ ( 78 × 1 – 14) = 8 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ ( 78 – 14) = 8 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ 64 = 8 ⇒ 42 + 3.375 = 45.375 ≠ 8 Third option: 78 and 14 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ (14 × 1 – 8) = 78 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ (14 – 8) = 78 ⇒ 168 ÷ 4 + 216 ÷ 6 = 78 ⇒ 42 + 36 = 78 Fourth option: 216 and 168 216 ÷ 4 + 168 ÷ ( 78 × 1 – 8) = 14 ⇒ 216 ÷ 4 + 168 ÷ (78 – 8) = 14 ⇒ 216 ÷ 4 + 168 ÷ 70 = 14 ⇒ 54 + 2.4 = 56.4 ≠ 14
So, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
