Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
$$6\div 3 + 12 \times 4 - 9 = 12$$
Given Equation :Â $$6\div 3 + 12 \times 4 - 9 = 12$$
We will check option wise and Solve it as per the rule of BODMAS :
Option A :Â $$-, \times$$
Changed Equation :Â $$6\div3+12-4\times\ 9=12$$
$$2+12-4\times\ 9=12$$
$$2+12-36=12$$
$$22\ne\ 12$$
Option A is incorrect.
Option BÂ :Â $$\div, \times$$
Changed Equation :Â $$6\times\ 3+12\div4-9=12$$
$$6\times\ 3+3-9=12$$
$$18+3-9=12$$
$$12=12$$
Option B is correct.
Option C :Â $$-, +$$
Changed Equation :Â $$6\div3-12\times4+9=12$$
$$2-12\times4+9=12$$
$$2-48+9=12$$
$$-37\ne\ 12$$
Option D :Â $$+, \div$$
Changed Equation :$$6+3\div12\times4-9=12$$
$$6+\frac{3}{12}\times4-9=12$$
$$6+1-9=12$$
$$-2\ne\ 12$$
Option D is incorrect.
Hence, Option BÂ is correct.Â
