Correct Answer: 2 and 4
Solution : Given: 10 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 – 4 = 16
Let's check each option – First Option: 6 and 12 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 10 + 2 × 6 ÷ 12 – 4 = 16 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 10 + 2 × 6 ÷ 12 – 4 = 10 + 1 – 4 = 7 ≠ 16 Second Option: 2 and 10 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 2 + 10 × 12 ÷ 6 – 4 = 16 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 2 + 10 × 12 ÷ 6 – 4 = 2 + 10 × 2 – 4 = 2 + 20 – 4 = 18 ≠ 16 Third Option: 10 and 4 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 4 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 – 10 = 16 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 4 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 – 10 = 4 + 2 × 2 – 10 = 4 + 4 – 10 = –2 ≠ 16 Fourth Option: 2 and 4 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 10 + 4 × 12 ÷ 6 – 2 = 16 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 10 + 4 × 12 ÷ 6 – 2 = 10 + 4 × 2 – 2 = 10 + 8 – 2 = 16
So, only the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
