Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 96 ÷ 6 - 16 + 12 x 8 = 40

6 and 16  96 and 16  6 and 8  6 and 12

6 and 12

In the given equation, 96 ÷ 6 - 16 + 12 x 8 = 40 if we interchange 6 and 12, it becomes: 96 ÷ 12 - 16 + 6 x 8 = 40 Using BODMAS rule, LHS = 96 ÷ 12 - 16 + 6 x 8 = 8 - 16 + 48 = 40 = RHS Thus, after the interchange the equation becomes correct.
