Correct option is A
Given equation:
294 + 14 × 4 ÷ 16 - 67 = 33
Option A: Interchange + and ÷
The modified equation becomes: 294 ÷ 14 × 4 + 16 - 67 = 33
Now, let's solve it step by step using BODMAS:
294 ÷ 14 = 21
21 × 4 = 84
84 + 16 = 100
100 - 67 = 33
This is correct, as it satisfies the equation.
Option B: Interchange × and ÷
The modified equation becomes: 294 + 14 ÷ 4 × 16 - 67 = 33
Now, let's solve it step by step using BODMAS:
14 ÷ 4 = 3.5
3.5 × 16 = 56
294 + 56 = 350
350 - 67 = 283
This is not correct, as it does not satisfy the equation.
Option C: Interchange + and -
The modified equation becomes: 294 - 14 × 4 ÷ 16 + 67 = 33
Now, let's solve it step by step using BODMAS:
4 ÷ 16 = .25
14 ×.25 = 3.5
294 - 3.5 = 290.5
290.5 + 67 = 357.5
This is not correct, as it does not satisfy the equation.
Option D: Interchange - and ÷
The modified equation becomes: 294 + 14 × 4 - 16 ÷ 67 = 33
Now, let's solve it step by step using BODMAS:
16 ÷ 67 ≈ 0.239
14 × 4 = 56
294 + 56 = 350
350 - 0.239 = 349.761
This is not correct, as it does not satisfy the equation.
Correct answer is(A).
