Question 42

Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
$$7 + 24 \times 3 - 72 \div 18 = 58$$

Solution

By Trial and Error method,

Option A

$$3+24\times7-72\div18=58$$

$$3+24\times7-4=58$$

$$3+168-4=58$$

$$167=58$$

Hence Option A is incorrect

Option B

$$7+18\times3-72\div24=58$$

$$7+18\times3-3=58$$

$$7+54-3=58$$

$$58=58$$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B
