Question:

By interchanging which two numbers the equation will be correct?

9 x 3 ÷ 6 + 4 - 8 = 1 

Options:

8 and 9 

3 and 6 

3 and 4

6 and 8 

Correct Answer:

3 and 4

Explanation:

In the equation, 9 x 3 ÷ 6 + 4 - 8 = 1 

if we interchange 3 and 4, it becomes:

9 x 4 ÷ 6 + 3 - 8 = 1 

Using BODMAS rule,

LHS = 9 x 4 ÷ 6 + 3 - 8 

= 9 x 4 ÷ 6 + 3 - 8 

= 6 + 3 - 8 

= 1 = RHS 

Thus, the equation becomes correct with this interchange.
