    Question

    Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    10 – 3 + 2 × 12 ÷ 6 = 6

    A.

    - and =

    B.

    x and +

    C.

    = and +

    D.

    + and -

    Correct option is B

    Using the BODMAS rule. The BODMAS rule stands for:
    B – Brackets, O - Orders (i.e., powers and roots, etc.), D – Division, M – Multiplication, A – Addition, S - Subtraction
    Option (a): Interchanging '-' and '='
    Equation becomes:
    10 = 3+2×12÷6−6
    10 = 3+2×2−6
    10 = 3+4−6
    10 = 7 - 6
    10 ≠ 1
    it does not match the options given for valid answers.
    Option (b): Interchanging '×' and '+'
    10−3×2+12÷6 = 6
    10−3×2 +2= 6

    10−6+2= 6

    10−4 = 6

    6 =6 The equation is correct.
    Option (c): Interchanging '=' and '+'
    Equation becomes:
    10−3 = 2×12÷6+6
    7 = 2×2+6
    7 = 4+6
    7 ≠ 10, which is not correct.
    Option (d): Interchanging '+' and '-'
    10+3−2×12÷6 = 6
    10+3−2×2 =6
    10+3−4 =6
    13−4= 6
    9 ≠ 6
    Which is not correct.
    Hence, option (b) is the correct
