Correct Answer: 6 and 7
Solution : Given: 5 × 7 – 4 + 21 ÷ 6 = 29
Replace the given numbers in the options with the original numbers in the given equation. First option: 6 and 5 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 × 7 – 4 + 21 ÷ 5 = 6 × 7 – 4 + 4.2 = 42 – 4 + 4.2 = 42.2 ≠ 29 Second option: 6 and 7 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 5 × 6 – 4 + 21 ÷ 7 = 5 × 6 – 4 + 3 = 30 – 4 + 3 = 29 = R.H.S. Third option: 21 and 29 5 × 7 – 4 + 29 ÷ 6 = 21 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 5 × 7 – 4 + 29 ÷ 6 = 5 × 7 – 4 + 4.83 = 35 – 4 + 4.83 = 35.83 ≠ 21 L.H.S ≠ R.H.S Fourth option: 5 and 4 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 4 × 7 – 5 + 21 ÷ 6 = 4 × 7 – 5 + 3.5 = 28 – 5 + 3.5 = 26.5 ≠ 29
So, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
