Solution : Given: 40 – 220 ÷ 2 × 2 + 20 = 200
Replace the given signs and numbers in the options one by one with the original signs and numbers in the given equation. First option: 20 and 40, + and – ⇒ 20 + 220 ÷ 2 × 2 – 40 = 200 = 20 + 220 – 40 = 200 Second option: 2 and 20, ÷ and + ⇒ 40 – 220 ÷ 20 × 20 + 2 = 200 = 40 – 11 × 20 + 2 = 40 – 220 + 2 = – 178 ≠ 200 Third option: 220 and 40, + and × ⇒ 220 – 40 ÷ 2 + 2 × 20 = 200 = 220 – 20 + 40 = 240 ≠200 Fourth option: 220 and 20, ÷ and × ⇒ 40 – 20 × 2 ÷ 2 + 220 = 200 = 40 – 20 + 220 = 240 ≠ 200
So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
