    Question

    Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    20 + 2 ÷ 4 – 8 × 28 = 30

    A.

    × and -

    B.

    × and +

    C.

    × and ÷

    D.

    + and ÷

    Correct option is B

    Given: 20 + 2 ÷ 4 – 8 × 28 = 30
    Option (a): Interchange × and –
    The modified equation becomes:
    20 + 2 ÷ 4 × 8 - 28 = 30
    20 + 0.5 × 8 - 28 = 30
    20 + 4 - 28 = 30
    24 - 28 = 30
    -4 ≠ 30 (Not follows)
    Option (b): Interchange × and +
    The modified equation becomes:
    20 × 2 ÷ 4 – 8 + 28 = 30
    5 × 2 – 8 + 28 = 30
    10 – 8 +28 = 30
    38 – 8 = 30
    30 = 30 (Follows)
    Option (c): Interchange × and ÷
    20 + 2 × 4 – 8 ÷ 28 = 30
    20 + 2 × 4 – 0.285 = 30
    20 + 8 – 0.285 = 30
    28 – 0.285 = 30
    27.715 ≠ 30 (Not follows)
    Option (d): Interchange + and ÷
    20 ÷ 2 + 4 – 8 × 28 = 30
    10 + 4 – 224 = 30
    14 – 224 = 30
    -210 ≠ 30 (Not follows)
    Thus, correct option is (b).
