Correct option is A
Given: 5 × 4 ÷ 10 – 8 + 2 = 8
From option (a): interchanging + and -
Equation will become
5 × 4 ÷ 10 + 8 - 2
20 ÷ 10 + 6
2 + 6 = 8 =8
(This equation is correct.)
From option (b): interchanging + and ×
Equation will become
5 + 4 ÷ 10 – 8
× 2 = 8
9 ÷ 10 – 16
0.9 - 16 = -15.1
= 8
(This equation is incorrect.)
From option (c): interchanging + and ÷
Equation will become
5 × 4 + 10 – 8 ÷ 2
20 + 10 – 4
(This equation is incorrect.)
4) From option (d): interchanging × and ÷
Equation will become
5 ÷ 4
× 10 – 8 + 2
(This equation is incorrect.)
Thus, the correct option is; (a)
