Correct Answer: 2 and 3
Solution : Given: (36 ÷ 2) × 5 – 15 × 4 = 20 – 260 ÷ (5 × 3 + 2)
Replace the given numbers in the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation. First option: 4 and 2 ⇒ (36 ÷ 4) × 5 – 15 × 2 = 20 – 260 ÷ (5 × 3 + 4) 45 – 30 = 20 – 13.68 15 ≠ 6.31 Second option: 3 and 5 ⇒ (36 ÷ 2) × 3 – 15 × 4 = 20 – 260 ÷ (3 × 5 + 2) 54 – 60 = 20 – 15.29 6 ≠ 4.70 Third option: 20 and 36 ⇒ (20 ÷ 2) × 5 – 15 × 4 = 36 – 260 ÷ (5 × 3 + 2) 50 – 60 = 36 – 15.29 –10 ≠ 20.70 Fourth option: 2 and 3 ⇒ (36 ÷ 3) × 5 – 15 × 4 = 20 – 260 ÷ (5 × 2 + 3) 60 – 60 = 20 – 20 0 = 0
So, only the fourth option satisfies the L.H.S. = R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
