Solution :
Given:
24 ÷ 3 + 11 × 6 – 18 = 19
Replace the given numbers in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation.
First option:
24 and 18
= 18 ÷ 3 + 11 × 6 – 24
= 6 + 66 – 24
= 48 ≠ 19
Second option:
11 and 3
= 24 ÷ 11 + 3 × 6 – 18
= 2.18 + 18 – 18
= 2.18 ≠ 19
Third option:
3 and 6
= 24 ÷ 6 + 11 × 3 – 18
= 4 + 33 – 18
= 37 – 18
= 19
Fourth option:
3 and 18
= 24 ÷ 18 + 11 × 6 – 3
= 1.34 + 66 – 3
= 64.34 ≠ 19
Here, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
