Correct Answer: 51 and 20, – and +
Solution : Given: 20 – 10 × 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211
Interchange the numbers and signs in the options one by one in the given equation. First option: 51 and 20, – and + 20 – 10 × 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211 ⇒ 51 + 10 × 342 ÷ 19 – 20 = 211 = 51 + 10 × 18 – 20 = 51 + 180 – 20 = 211 = R.H.S. Second option: 20 and 342, – and ÷ 20 – 10 × 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211 ⇒ 342 ÷ 10 × 20 – 19 + 51 = 211 = 34.2 × 20 –19 + 51 = 684 – 19 + 51 = 716 ≠ 211 Third option: 10 and 20, – and × 20 – 10 × 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211 ⇒10 × 20 – 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211 = 10 × 20 – 18 + 51 = 200 – 18 + 51 = 233 ≠ 211 Fourth option: 19 and 342, × and ÷ 20 – 10 × 342 ÷ 19 + 51 = 211 ⇒ 20 – 10 ÷ 19 × 342 + 51 = 211 = 20 – 0.53 × 342 + 51 = 20 – 181.26 + 51 = –110.26 ≠ 211
So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation, when the numbers are changed. Hence, the first option is correct.
