Correct Answer: 16 and 12


Solution : Given:
192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 16 – 18 = 66

Replace the given numbers in the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation.
First option: 16 and 18
192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 16 – 18 = 66
= 192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 18 – 16 = 66
= 16 × 6 + 18 – 16
= 98 66
Second option: 16 and 6
192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 16 – 18 = 66
= 192 ÷ 12 × 16 + 6 – 18 = 66
= 16 × 16 + 6 – 18
= 256 + 6 – 18
= 244 66
Third option: 6 and 18
192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 16 – 18 = 66
= 192 ÷ 12 × 18 + 16 – 6 = 66
= 16 × 18 + 16 – 6
= 288 + 16 – 6
= 298 66
Fourth Option: 16 and 12
192 ÷ 12 × 6 + 16 – 18 = 66
= 192 ÷ 16 × 6 + 12 – 18 = 66
= 12 × 6 + 12 – 18
= 72 + 12 – 18
= 66

Here, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
