Which two signs and two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
$$28 + 4 \times 16 \div 5 - 17 = 127$$
Option (a)Â $$4\ and\ 5,+\ and\ \times$$
$$28\times5+16\div4-17=127$$
$$28\times5+\frac{16}{4}-17=127$$
$$140+4-17=127$$
144-17=127
127=127
The given equation is satisfied. So this will be the correct answer.
Option (b)Â $$28\ and\ 16,+\ and\ \div$$
$$16\div4\times28+5-17=127$$
$$4\times28+5-17=127$$
112+5-17=127
117-17=127
$$100\ne\ 127$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this will not be the correct answer.Option (c) $$4\ and\ 5,+\ and\ -$$
$$28-5\times16\div4+17=127$$
$$28-5\times4+17=127$$
$$28-20+17=127$$
$$25\ne127$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this will not be the correct answer.
Option (d)Â $$28\ and\ 5,\div\ and\ \times$$
$$5+4\times\frac{16}{28}-17=127$$
$$5+4\times\frac{4}{7}-17=127$$
This equation will give a fractional value that does not satisfy the given equation. So this will not be the correct answer.
