Correct Answer: 14 and 6, + and –
Solution : Given: 784 ÷ 6 × 9 – 30 + 14 = 528
Let's check the options – First option: 14 and 6, + and – On interchanging the numbers and signs, the equation becomes – 784 ÷ 14 × 9 + 30 – 6 = 528 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 56 × 9 + 30 – 6 = 504 + 30 – 6 = 534 – 6 = 528 Second option: 784 and 30, + and × On interchanging the numbers and signs, the equation becomes – 30 ÷ 6 + 9 – 784 × 14 = 528 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 5 + 9 – 784 × 14 = 5 + 9 – 10976 = 14 – 10976 = –10962 ≠ 528 Third option: 784 and 6, × and – On interchanging the numbers and signs, the equation becomes – 6 ÷ 784 – 9 × 30 + 14 = 528 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 0.0077 – 9 × 30 + 14 = 0.0077 – 270 + 14 = 14.0077 – 270 = –255.99 ≠ 528 Fourth option: 9 and 6, + and ÷ On interchanging the numbers and signs, the equation becomes – 784 + 9 × 6 – 30 ÷ 14 = 528 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 784 + 9 × 6 – 2.14 = 784 + 54 – 2.14 = 838 – 2.14 = 835.86 ≠ 528
So, from the above, only the first option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
