Which two signs should be interchanged in the following equation to make it correct?
$$6 + 7 \times 8 - 21 \div 7 = 47$$
By Trial and Error method,
Option A
$$6-7\times8+21\div7=47$$
$$6-7\times8+3=47$$
$$6-56+3=47$$
$$-47=47$$
Hence Option A is incorrect
Option B
$$6+7\div8-21\times7=47$$
$$6+\frac{7}{8}-21\times7=47$$
The value will be decimal after solving which is not possible
Option C
$$6+7\times8\div21-7=47$$
$$6+7\times\frac{8}{21}-7=47$$
$$6+\frac{8}{3}-7=47$$
The value will be decimal after solving which is not possible
Option D
$$6\times7+8-21\div7=47$$
$$6\times7+8-3=47$$
$$42+8-3=47$$
$$47=47$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
