Correct Answer: 4 and 8
Solution : Given: [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65
Interchange the numbers according to the given options – First option: 6 and 8 [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (8)² – (12 x 6) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [16 ÷ 4]³ + 64 – 36 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ [4]³ + 64 – 36 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ 64 + 64 – 36 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ 197 – 36 = 161 ≠ 65 Second option: 66 and 65 [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 65 + (36 ÷ 12) = 66 ⇒ [16 ÷ 4]³ + 36 – 96 + 65 + 3 = 66 ⇒ [4]³ + 36 – 96 + 65 + 3 = 66 ⇒ 64 + 36 – 96 + 65 + 3 = 66 ⇒ 168 – 96 = 72 ≠ 65 Third option: 4 and 8 [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [(√256) ÷ 8]³ + (6)² – (12 x 4) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [16 ÷ 8]³ + 36 – 48 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ [2]³ + 36 – 48 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ 8 + 36 – 48 + 66 + 3 = 65 ⇒ 113 – 48 = 65 Fourth option: 66 and 36 [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 66 + (36 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [(√256) ÷ 4]³ + (6)² – (12 x 8) + 36 + (66 ÷ 12) = 65 ⇒ [16 ÷ 4]³ + 36 – 96 + 36 + 5.5 = 65 ⇒ [4]³ + 36 – 96 + 36 + 5.5 = 65 ⇒ 64 + 36 – 96 + 36 + 5.5 = 65 ⇒ 141.5 – 96 = 45.5 ≠ 65
So, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
