Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
$$64 - 17 + 55 \times 65 \div 5 = 230$$
Here we need to check each of the option to get the correct answer.
Option (a)Â 55 and 65
$$64 - 17 + 65 \times 55 \div 5 = 230$$
$$64 - 17 + 65 \times 11 = 230$$
$$47 +715Â = 230$$
$$762\ne\ 230$$
This option is not satisfying the given equation. So this will not be answer.
Option (b)Â 17 and 55
$$64 - 55 + 17 \times 65 \div 5 = 230$$
$$64 - 55 + 17 \times 13 = 230$$
$$64 - 55 +Â 221 = 230$$
230Â = 230
This option is satisfying the given equation. So this will be answer.
Option (c)Â 64 and 17
$$17 - 64Â + 55 \times 65 \div 5 = 230$$
$$17 - 64 + 55 \times 13 = 230$$
$$17 - 64 +Â 715 = 230$$
$$668\ne\ 230$$
This option is not satisfying the given equation. So this will not be answer.
Option (d)Â 17 and 65
$$64 -Â 65 + 55 \times 17Â \div 5 = 230$$
$$64-65+55\times\frac{17}{5}=230$$
$$-1+11\times17=230$$
$$-1+187=230$$
$$186\ne\ 230$$
This option is not satisfying the given equation. So this will not be answer.
