    Given:
    36 + 6 ÷ 3 - 20 × 5 = 50
    Check each options:
    Option A: Interchanged + and -
    36 − 6 ÷ 3 + 20 × 5 = 50
    = 36 - 2 + 20 × 5 = 50
    = 36 - 2 + 100 = 50
    = 136 - 2 = 50
    = 134 \not= 50
    Option B: Interchanged - and ÷
    36 + 6 − 3 ÷ 20 × 5 = 50
    = 36 + 6 − 0.15 × 5 = 50
    = 36 + 6 − 0.75 = 50
    = 42 -0.75 = 50
    = 41.25 \not=​ 50
    ​Option C: Interchanged × and ÷
    36 + 6 × 3 − 20 ÷ 5 = 50
    = 36 + 18 − 4 = 50
    = 54 - 4 = 50
    = 50 = 50 (Follow)
    Option D: Interchanged + and ×
    36 × 6 ÷ 3 − 20 + 5 = 50
    = 36 × 2 - 20 + 5 = 50
    = 72 + 5 - 20 = 50
    = 77 - 20 = 50
    = 57 \not= 50
    Thus, the correct option is: (c)
