Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : Given:
I. 4 + 3 × 8 – 2 ÷ 1 = 3
II. 8 × 2 – 4 + 6 ÷ 2 = 11

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 –
⇒ 8 + 3 – 4 × 2 ÷ 1 = 3
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 + 3 – 4 × 2
= 8 + 3 – 8
= 11 – 8
= 3
On interchanging the signs and numbers in the second equation, we get –
⇒ 4 – 2 × 8 + 6 ÷ 2 = 11
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 4 – 2 × 8 + 3
= 4 – 16 + 3
= 7 – 16
= –9 ≠ 11

So, the second equation is not correct after interchanging the signs and numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
