Which two numbers should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
$$6 + 28 \div 4 - 2 \times 17 = 12$$
By Trial and Error method,
Option A
$$6+28\div17-2\times4=12$$
$$6+\frac{28}{17}-2\times4=12$$
After solving the value will be decimal which is not possible. Hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B
$$6+2\div4-28\times17=12$$
$$6+0.5-28\times17=12$$
After solving the value will be decimal which is not possible. Hence Option B is incorrect.
Option C
$$17+28\div4-2\times6=12$$
$$17+7-2\times6=12$$
$$17+7-12=12$$
$$12=12$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
