Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : Given:
I. 12 × 2 – 72 + 9 ÷ 57 = 69
II. 169 + 13 × 12 ÷ 3 – 9 = 108

Equation I: 12 × 2 – 72 + 9 ÷ 57 = 69
On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get –
9 × 2 – 72 ÷ 12 + 57 = 69
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 9 × 2 – 72 ÷ 12 + 57
= 9 × 2 – 6 + 57
= 18 – 6 + 57
= 69
Equation II: 169 + 13 × 12 ÷ 3 – 9 = 108
On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get –
169 ÷ 13 × 9 + 3 – 12 = 108
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 169 ÷ 13 × 9 + 3 – 12
= 13 × 9 + 3 – 12
= 117 + 3 – 12
= 108

So, neither equation I nor II is incorrect. Hence, the first option is correct.
