Correct Answer: 6 and 14
Solution : Given: 84 ÷ 6 + 16 – 14 × 2 = 10
Let's check the given options – First option: 6 and 14 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 84 ÷ 14 + 16 – 6 × 2 = 10 Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation – = 84 ÷ 14 + 16 – 6 × 2 = 6 + 16 – 6 × 2 = 6 + 16 – 12 = 10 Second option: 2 and 84 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 2 ÷ 6 + 16 – 14 × 84 = 10 Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation – = 2 ÷ 6 + 16 – 14 × 84 = 0.33 + 16 – 14 × 84 = 0.33 + 16 – 1176 = –1159.67 ≠ 10 Third option: 10 and 14 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 84 ÷ 6 + 16 – 10 × 2 = 14 Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation – = 84 ÷ 6 + 16 – 10 × 2 = 14 + 16 – 10 × 2 = 14 + 16 – 20 = 10 ≠ 14 Fourth option: 6 and 10 On interchanging the numbers, we get – 84 ÷ 10 + 16 – 14 × 2 = 6 Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation – = 84 ÷ 10 + 16 – 14 × 2 = 8.4 + 16 – 14 × 2 = 8.4 + 16 – 28 = –3.6 ≠ 6
So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
