Which two numbers (NOT digits) should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
$$26 \div 2 + 13 \times 6 − 4 = 10$$
Option (a) 13 and 4
$$26 \div 2 + 4 \times 6 − 13 = 10$$
$$13 + 24 − 13 = 10$$
$$13 + 11 = 10$$
$$24\ne\ 10$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this is not the correct answer.Option (b) 2 and 13
$$26 \div 13 + 2 \times 6 − 4 = 10$$
$$2 + 12 − 4 = 10$$
10 = 10
The given equation is satisfied. So this is the correct answer.
Option (c) 2 and 10
$$26 \div 10 + 13 \times 6 − 4 = 2$$
$$2.6 + 78 − 4 = 2$$
$$76.6\ne\ 2$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this is not the correct answer.
Option (d) 2 and 4
$$26 \div 4 + 13 \times 6 − 2 = 10$$
$$6.5 + 78 − 2 = 10$$
$$82.5\ne\ 10$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this is not the correct answer.
