    Question

    Which two numbers and signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
    14×3÷612+13=814 \times 3 \div 6-12+13=8​​

    A.

    14 and 12,  × and ÷​

    B.

    12 and 13, + and -

    C.

    6 and 12, × and -

    D.

    12 and 14, × and -

    Correct option is B

    Given: 14 × 3 ÷ 6 − 12 + 13 = 8
    Logic: BODMAS
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}​​
    Let's check all options:
    Option (a): 14 and 12, × and ÷  (Incorrect)
    After interchanging the number and signs,
    Equation becomes: 12 ÷ 3 × 6 − 14 + 13 = 8
     12 ÷ 3 × 6 − 14 + 13 = 8
     4 × 6 − 14 + 13 = 8
     24 − 14 + 13 = 8
    37 - 14 = 8
    23 \ne 8
    Option (b): 12 and 13, + and -  (Correct)
    After interchanging the number and signs,
    Equation becomes: 14 × 3 ÷ 6 + 13 − 12 = 8
    14 × 3 ÷ 6 + 13 − 12 = 8
    14 × 36\frac{3}{6}​ + 13 − 12 = 8
    7 + 13 − 12 = 8
    20 − 12 = 8
    8 = 8 (Satisfied) 
    Option (c): 6 and 12, × and -  (Incorrect)
    After interchanging the number and signs,
    Equation becomes: 14 − 3 ÷ 12 × 6 + 13 = 8
     14 − 3 ÷ 12 × 6 + 13 = 8
     14 − 0.25 × 6 + 13 = 8
     14 −0.25 × 6 + 13 = 8
    14 - 1.5 + 13 = 8
    27 - 1.5 = 8
    25.5 \ne 8
    Option (d): 12 and 14, × and -  (Incorrect)
    After interchanging the number and signs,
    Equation becomes: 12 − 3 ÷ 6 × 14 + 13 = 8
    12 − 3 ÷ 6 × 14 + 13 = 8
     12 − ​ × 14 + 13 = 8
    12 −  7  + 13 = 8
    25 - 7 = 8
    18 \ne 8
    Thus, the correct option is (b)  12 and 13, + and -
