    Question

    Which equation would become correct if we interchange the signs '×' and '÷' as well as the digits '2' and '4'?

    A.

    2 ÷ 4 × 14 = 60

    B.

    12 ÷ 42 × 4 = 160

    C.

    12 × 4 ÷ 42 = 168

    D.

    42 × 12 ÷ 2 = 20

    Correct option is C

    Given: we interchange the signs and digits-
    Original
    ×\times​​
    2
    New
    ÷\div​​
    4
    Logic: BODMAS
    Let's check the option:
    (a) 2 ÷ 4 × 14 = 60
    4 × 2 ÷ 12 = 60
    4 × 212\frac{2}{12} = 60
    23\frac{2}{3} \ne 60 (Incorrect)
    (b) 12 ÷ 42 × 4 = 160
    14 × 24 ÷ 2 = 160
    14 × 12 = 160
    168 \ne 160 (Incorrect)
    (c) 12 × 4 ÷ 42 = 168
    14 ÷2 × 24 = 168
    7 × 24 = 168 (Correct Option)
    (d) 42 × 12 ÷ 2 = 20
    24 ÷14 × 4 = 20
    2414\frac{24}{14} × 4 \ne 20 (Incorrect)
    Thus, the correct option is (c)​​
