Question

Which two signs and numbers need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30

A.

11 and 2, ÷ and ×

B.

22 and 88, ÷ and ×

C.

11 and 2, + and ×

D.

22 and 88, + and ×

Correct option is A

Concept: interchange numbers and mathematical operators and solve as per BODMAS rule.
Explanation:
Check option A, ​11 and 2, ÷ and ×
Given:
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
After interchanging,
17 + (22 × 2) – (88 ÷ 11) – 23 = 30
Or, 17+44-8-23=30
Or, 17+13=30
Or, 30=30
So, its correct option.
Check option B, 22 and 88, ÷ and ×
Given:
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
After interchanging,
17 + (88 × 11) – (22 ÷ 2) – 23 = 30
or, 17+8-11-23=30
or, -930
So, its not correct option.
Check option C,11 and 2, + and ×
Given:
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
After interchanging,
17 × (22 ÷ 2) – (88 + 11) – 23 = 30
or, 17×11 – 99 – 23 = 30
or, 187-122=30
or, 6530
So, its not correct option.
Check option D,22 and 88, + and ×
Given:
17 + (22 ÷ 11) – (88 × 2) – 23 = 30
After interchanging,
17 × (88 ÷ 11) – (22 + 2) – 23 = 30
or, 17×8 –24 – 23 = 30
or, 136-147=30
or, -1130
So, its not correct option.
Thus, option A is correct.
