Correct Answer: 25 and 24


Solution : Given:
16 + 24 × 12 – 25 + 6 = 298

Let's check the options –
First option: 25 and 24
16 + 25 × 12 – 24 + 6 = 298
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 16 + 300 – 24 + 6
= 298 = R.H.S.
Second option: 25 and 12
16 + 24 × 25 – 12 + 6 = 298
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 16 + 600 – 12 + 6
= 610 ≠ 298
Third option: 25 and 16
25 + 24 × 12 – 16 + 6 = 298
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 25 + 288 – 16 + 6
= 303 ≠ 298
Fourth option: 24 and 16
24 + 16 × 12 – 25 + 6 = 298
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 24 + 192 – 25 + 6
= 197 ≠ 298

So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
