Correct Answer: 5 and 6
Solution : Given: 20 ÷ 6 + 10 – 5 × 2 = 2
Let's check each option – First Option: 5 and 10 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 20 ÷ 6 + 5 – 10 × 2 = 2 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 20 ÷ 6 + 5 – 10 × 2 = 3.33 + 5 – 10 × 2 = 3.33 + 5 – 20 = –11.67 ≠ 2 Second Option: 6 and 10 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 20 ÷ 10 + 6 – 5 × 2 = 2 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 20 ÷ 10 + 6 – 5 × 2 = 2 + 6 – 5 × 2 = 2 + 6 – 10 = –2 ≠ 2 Third Option: 10 and 20 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 10 ÷ 6 + 20 – 5 × 2 = 2 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 10 ÷ 6 + 20 – 5 × 2 = 1.67 + 20 – 10 = 11.67 ≠ 2 Fourth Option: 5 and 6 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 20 ÷ 5 + 10 – 6 × 2 = 2 On solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 20 ÷ 5 + 10 – 6 × 2 = 4 + 10 – 6 × 2 = 4 + 10 – 12 = 14 – 12 = 2
So, only the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
