Correct Answer: Both I and II


Solution : Given:
I. 7 – 4 × 3 ÷ 6 + 2 = 8
II. 6 – 8 × 2 + 9 ÷ 3 = 5

Let's check each equation after interchanging signs and numbers according to the instructions.
On interchanging the signs and numbers in the first equation, we get –
⇒ 7 – 4 ÷ 3 × 2 + 6 = 8
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 7 – 4 ÷ 3 × 2 + 6
= 7 – 1.33 × 2 + 6
= 7 – 2.67 + 6
= 10.33 ≠ 6
On interchanging the signs and numbers in the second equation, we get –
⇒ 2 – 8 ÷ 6 + 9 × 3 = 5
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 2 – 8 ÷ 6 + 9 × 3
= 2 – 1.33 + 9 × 3
= 2 – 1.33 + 27
= 27.67 ≠ 5

So, both the equations are not correct after interchanging the signs and numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
