Question:

Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

4 x 8 - 12 + 5 = 16

Options:

4 and 5

8 and 5

16 and 8

12 and 16

Correct Answer:

8 and 5

Explanation:

In the equation, 4 x 8 - 12 + 5 = 16

if we interchange 8 and 5, it becomes:

4 x 5 - 12 + 8 = 16

LHS = 4 x 5 - 12 + 8

= 20 - 12 + 8

= 16 = RHS

Thus, the interchange makes the equation correct.
