Let's check the options – First option: + and ÷ In the given equation, two + signs are present, and it's unclear which one should be interchanged. So, this option is incorrect. Second option: + and × In the given equation, two + signs are present, and it's unclear which one should be interchanged. So, this option is incorrect. Third option: + and – In the given equation, two + signs are present, and there is no – sign. So, this option is incorrect. Fourth option: × and ÷ On interchanging the mathematical signs, we get – = 17 + 10 ÷ 5 × 9 + 18 = 17 + 2 × 9 + 18 = 17 + 18 + 18 = 53
So, only the fourth option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
