    Question

    Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    25 × 9 – 74 + 459÷\div​ 3= 52

    A.

    25 and 74

    B.

    74 and 3

    C.

    9 and 3

    D.

    25 and 3

    Correct option is C

    Given: 25 × 9 – 74 + 459 ÷3 = 52
    Logic: BODMAS
    ​Let's check all the options:
    (a) 25 and 74  After interchanging these number we get this equation:-
    74 × 9 – 25 + 459 ÷ 3 = 52
    74 × 9 – 25 + 153 = 52
    666 - 25 + 153 = 52
    819 - 25 = 52
    794 ≠ 52
    ​Option (a) is incorrect.
    (b) 74 and 3 After interchanging these number we get this equation:-
    25 × 9 – 3 + 459 ÷ 74 = 52
    25 × 9 – 3 + 6.2 = 52 = 52
    225–3+6.2 = 52
    231.2 - 3 =52
    228.2 ≠ 52
    Option (b)is incorrect.
    (c) 9 and 3 After interchanging these number we get this equation:-
    25 × 3 – 74 + 459 ÷ 9 = 52
    25 × 3 – 74 + 51 = 52
    75 - 74 + 51 = 52
    126 -74 = 52
    52 = 52
    This is the correct option.
    (d) 25 and 3 After interchanging these number we get this equation:-
    3 × 9 – 74 + 459 ÷ 25 = 52
    3 × 9 – 74 + 18.3 = 52
    27 - 74 + 18.3 = 52
    45.3 -74 = 52
    - 28.7 ≠ 52
    Option (d) is not correct.
    Thus, the correct option is (c)
