    Question

    Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
    9+315×5÷8=29+3-15×5÷8=2​​​​

    A.

    –, ÷

    B.

    +, –

    C.

    ×, +

    D.

    ×, ÷

    Correct option is A

    Given: ​9+315×5÷8=29+3-15×5÷8=2
    Given equation is solve by BODMAS rule.
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}
    Now, we check each options.
    Option (a): (- and ÷)
    New equation: 9 + 3 ÷ 15 × 5 - 8 = 2
    9 + 0.2 ×\times 5 - 8 = 2
    9 + 1 - 8 = 2
    10 - 8 = 2
    2 = 2 
    Option (b): (+ and -)
    New equation: 9 - 3 + 15 × 5 ÷ 8 = 2
    9 - 3 + 15 × 5 ÷ 8 ​\neq 2​
    Option (c): (× and +)
    New equation: 9 × 3 - 15 + 5 ÷ 8 = 2
    9 × 3 - 15 + 5 ÷ 8 \neq​ 2
    Option (d): (× and ÷)
    New equation: 9 + 3 - 15 ÷ 5 × 8 = 2
    9 + 3 - 3 ​×\times 8 = 2
    9 + 3 - 24 = 2
    12 - 24 = 2
    - 12 \neq​ 2
    Thus, the correct option is (a).
