If the signs $$-$$ and $$\div$$ are interchanged, then which of the following equations would be correct?
Given,
signs $$-$$ and $$\div$$ are interchanged,
We have to check Option wise and solve as per the rule of BODMAS
Option A : $$8 \times 12 - 6 \div 3 = 12$$
After changing sign : $$8\times12\div6-3=12$$
$$\therefore\ 8\times2-3=12$$
$$\therefore\ 13\ne\ 12$$
$$\therefore\ $$ Equation is incorrect.
Option B : $$12 \div 4 \times 3 - 6 = 10$$
After changing sign : $$12-4\times3\div6=10$$
$$\therefore\ 12-4\times\frac{3}{6}=10$$
$$\therefore\ 12-2=10$$
$$\therefore\ 10=10$$
$$\therefore\ $$ Equation is correct.
Option C : $$4 - 8 \times 16 \div 4 = 6$$
After changing sign : $$4\div8\times16-4=6$$
$$\therefore\ \frac{4}{8}\times16-4=6$$
$$\therefore\ 8-4=6$$
$$\therefore\ 4\ne\ 6$$
$$\therefore\ $$ Equation is incorrect.
Option D : $$8 + 12 - 6 \div 3 = 9$$
After changing sign : $$8+12\div6-3=9$$
$$\therefore\ 8+2-3=9$$
$$\therefore\ 7\ne\ 9$$
$$\therefore\ $$ Equation is incorrect.
Hence, Option B is correct.
