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 -
