By interchanging the two signs ÷ and + and two numbers 9 and 12 (NOT digits), which of the following equations will NOT be correct?
I. $$12\times2-72+9\div57=69$$
II. $$169+13\times12\div3-9=108$$
According to question make changes in / and + , 9 and 12 :
$$12\times\ 2\ -\ 72\ +\ \frac{9}{57}=69$$
$$\frac{169}{13}\times\ 9+3-12=108$$
We need to make changes in both the equation and solve it
$$12\times\ 2\ -\ 72\ +\ \frac{9}{57}=69$$
$$9\times\ 2\ -\ \frac{72}{12}+57=69$$
$$18-\frac{72}{12}+57=69$$
$$18-6+57=69$$
$$12+57=69$$
$$69=69$$
$$\frac{169}{13}\times\ 9\ +\ 3\ -\ 12=108$$
$$13\times\ 9\ +\ 3-12=108$$
$$117+\ 3-12=108$$
$$120-12=108$$
$$108=108$$
According to this L.H.S=R.H.S Hence option A is the correct answer.
