    Question

    Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    26+2 ÷ 4 – 8 × 25 = 30

    A.

    × and -

    B.

    +and ÷

    C.

    × and +

    D.

    × and ÷

    Correct option is C


    Given equation:
    26+2÷4–8×25=30
    Option (a): × and -
    If we interchange × and -, the equation becomes: 26+2÷4×8−25=30
    Now, follow BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) rule:
    26+2÷4×8−25=30
    = 26+.5×8−25=30
    = 26+ 4 −25=30
    = 30 −25=30
    5≠30
    Option (b): + and ÷
    If we interchange + and ÷, the equation becomes: 26÷2+4–8×25=30
    Now, follow BODMAS:
    26÷2+4–8×25=30
    = 13+4–8×25=30
    = 13+4–200=30
    = 17–200=30
    183≠30
    Option (c): × and +
    If we interchange × and +, the equation becomes: 26×2÷4–8+25=30
    Now, follow BODMAS:
    = 26×.5–8+25=30
    = 13 -8 +25=30
    = 38 – 8 = 30
    30= 30
    Correct answer is (c) × and +
