Correct option is D
Given: 29 + 46 – (48 ÷ 4) + (7 × 3) – 26 = 61
Logic: To solve this, we need to interchange the numbers as directed in the options in the given equation to solve the equation. For this, we follow the BODMAS rule (Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers, and square roots, etc.), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction).
Explanation:
Option (a): 46 and 26
29 + 26 – (48 ÷ 4) + (7 × 3) – 46 = 61
29 + 26 – 12 + 21 – 46 = 61
76 – 12 – 46 = 61
43 ≠ 61 (This option does not satisfy the equation)
Option (b): 46 and 48
29 + 48 – (46 ÷ 4) + (7 × 3) – 26 = 61
29 + 48 – 11.5 + 21 – 26 = 61
98 – 11.5 – 26 = 61
60.5 ≠ 61 (This option does not satisfy the equation)
Option (c): 26 and 29
26 + 46 – (48 ÷ 4) + (7 × 3) – 29 = 61
26 + 46 – 12 + 21 – 29 = 61
93 – 12 – 29 = 61
52 ≠ 61 (This option does not satisfy the equation)
Option (d): 4 and 3
29 + 46 – (48 ÷ 3) + (7 × 4) – 26 = 61
29 + 46 – 16 + 28 – 26 = 61
103 – 16 – 26 = 61
61 = 61 (This option satisfies the equation)
The final answer is option (d).
