    Question

    Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
    294+14×4÷16-67=33

    A.

    + and ÷

    B.

    × and ÷

    C.

    + and -

    D.

    - and ÷

    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).
