    Option A: 15 and 4
    Equation becomes:
    104 ÷ 8 – 4 + 15 × 26 = 21
    13 – 4 + 15 × 26 = 21
    13 – 4 + 390 = 21
    403  – 4 = 21
    399 ≠ 21(Incorrect)
    Option B: 8 and 26
    Equation becomes:
    104 ÷ 26 – 15 + 4 × 8 = 21 
    4 – 15 + 4 × 8 = 21 
    4 – 15 + 32 = 21 
    36 – 15 = 21
    21 = 21 (Correct)
    Thus, correct option is (b).
