Correct Answer: 10 and 30
Solution : Given: (42 ÷ 7) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 5 × 2)
Replace the given numbers in the options with the original numbers in the given equation. First option: 10 and 5 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 10 = 30 × 120 ÷ (5 + 10 × 2) ⇒ 6 × 10 = 30 × 4.8 ⇒ 60 ≠ 144 Second option: 2 and 5 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 2 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 2 × 5) ⇒ 6 × 2 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 10) ⇒ 12 = 30 × 120 ÷ 20 ⇒ 12 ≠ 180 Third option: 7 and 2 ⇒ (42 ÷ 2) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 5 × 7) ⇒ (21) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (45) ⇒ 105 = 30 × 2.67 ⇒ 105 ≠ 80 Fourth option: 10 and 30 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 5 = 10 × 120 ÷ (30 + 5 × 2) ⇒ (6) × 5 = 10 × 120 ÷ (40) ⇒ 30 = 10 × 120 ÷ 40 ⇒ 30 = 10 × 3 ⇒ 30 = 30
So, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
