    A.

    × and -

    B.

    × and +

    C.

    +and ÷

    D.

    + and -

    Correct option is D

    Given: 28 + 12 – 6 × 40 ÷ 8 = 46
    Option (a) Interchange × and -:
    The equation becomes: 28 + 12 × 6 - 40 ÷ 8 = 46
    28 + 12 × 6 - 5 = 46
    28 + 72 - 5 = 46
    28 + 72 - 5 = 46
    100 – 5 = 46
    95 ≠ 46
    Option (b) Interchange × and +:
    The equation becomes: 28 × 12 – 6 + 40 ÷ 8 = 46
    28 × 12 – 6 + 5 = 46
    28 × 12 – 6 + 5 = 46
    336 – 6 + 5 = 46
    341 – 6 = 46
    335
    Option (c) Interchange + and ÷:
    The equation becomes: 28 ÷ 12 – 6 × 40 + 8 = 46
    28 ÷ 12 – 6 × 40 + 8 = 46
    2.23 – 6 × 40 + 8 = 46
    2.23 – 240 + 8 = 46
    10.23 – 240 = 46
    -237.77≠ 46
    Option (d) Interchange + and -:
    The equation becomes: 28 - 12 + 6 × 40 ÷ 8 = 46
    28 - 12 + 6 × 5 = 46
    28 - 12 + 30 = 46
    58 - 12 = 46
    46 = 46
    Correct answer is (d).
