Correct option is B
Given:
700 + 42 ÷ 6 × 45 – 54 × 9 + 14 = 355
Operation preference wiseBracketsOrders, ofDivisionMultiplicationAdditionSubtractionSymbol[],,()(power),√(root),of÷×+−
a) 9 and 14
After interchange
700 + 42 ÷ 6 × 45 – 54 × 14 + 9 = 355
700 + 315 – 756 + 9 = 355
1024 – 756 = 355
268 = 355 (Incorrect)
b) 6 and 14
After interchange
700 + 42 ÷ 14 × 45 - 54 × 9 + 6 = 355
700 + 3 × 45 - 486 + 6 = 355
700 + 135 - 486 + 6 = 355
841 - 486 = 355
355 = 355 (Correct)
Thus, correct option is (b).
