    Question

    Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    26 + 2 × 8 – 4 ÷ 1 = 14

    A.

    - and ×

    B.

    = and -

    C.

    = and ×

    D.

    + and -

    Correct option is D

    Given: 26 + 2 × 8 – 4 ÷ 1 = 14
    From the given option interchanging the sign.
    (a) - and × after interchanging the sign we get following equation and using BODMAS-
    26 + 2 - 8 × 4 ÷ 1 = 14
    26 + 2 - 8 × 4 = 14
    26 + 2 - 32 = 14
    28 - 32 = 14
    - 4 ≠ 14
    (b) = and - after interchanging the sign we get following equation and using BODMAS-
    26 + 2 × 8 = 4 ÷ 1 - 14
    26 + 2 × 8 = 4 - 14
    26 + 16 = 4 - 14
    42 = 4 - 14
    42 ≠ -10
    (c) = and × after interchanging the sign we get following equation and using BODMAS-
    26 + 2 = 8 – 4 ÷ 1 × 14
    26 + 2 = 8 – 4 × 14
    26 + 2 = 8 – 56
    28 = 8 – 56
    28 ≠ – 48
    (d) + and - after interchanging the sign we get following equation and using BODMAS-
    26 - 2 × 8 + 4 ÷ 1 = 14
    26 - 2 × 8 + 4 = 14
    26 - 16 + 4 = 14
    30 - 16 = 14
    14 = 14
    Thus, the correct (d) + and -.
