View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

6 and 12

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Rule:

Given equation:

8 + 12 ÷ 9 × 6 - 4 = 12 ÷ 6 × 8 + 9 - 1

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) 12 and 8

After interchanging 12 and 8:

12 + 8 ÷ 9 × 6 - 4 = 8 ÷ 6 × 12 + 9 - 1

LHS = 12 + (8 ÷ 9 × 6) - 4

= 12 + 5.33 - 4

= 13.33

RHS = (8 ÷ 6 × 12) + 9 - 1

= 16 + 9 - 1

= 24

Since 13.33 ≠ 24, this option is incorrect.

Option 2) 6 and 9

After interchanging 6 and 9:

8 + 12 ÷ 6 × 9 - 4 = 12 ÷ 9 × 8 + 6 - 1

LHS = 8 + (12 ÷ 6 × 9) - 4

= 8 + 18 - 4

= 22

RHS = (12 ÷ 9 × 8) + 6 - 1

= 10.67 + 6 - 1

= 15.67

Since 22 ≠ 15.67, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) 6 and 12

After interchanging 6 and 12:

8 + 6 ÷ 9 × 12 - 4 = 6 ÷ 12 × 8 + 9 - 1

LHS = 8 + 6 ÷ 9 × 12 - 4

= 8 + 8 - 4

= 12

RHS = 6 ÷ 12 × 8 + 9 - 1

= 4 + 9 - 1

= 13 - 1

= 12

Since 12 = 12, this option is correct.

Option 4) 8 and 4

After interchanging 8 and 4:

4 + 12 ÷ 9 × 6 - 8 = 12 ÷ 6 × 4 + 9 - 1

LHS = 4 + (12 ÷ 9 × 6) - 8

= 4 + 8 - 8

= 4

RHS = (12 ÷ 6 × 4) + 9 - 1

= 8 + 9 - 1

= 16

Since 4 ≠ 16, this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Question 368

Delhi Police Head Constable 2025• General Intelligence

In the following questions, a mathematical equation is given. The equation is not correct under normal rules. You are required to choose the correct option that specifies the interchange of two signs and/or numbers which, when made in the equation, will make it mathematically valid.

6 × 3 - 8 ÷ 2 + 5 = 8 ÷ 2 + 3 × 5 - 6

  1. AOption (a)

    6 and 2

  2. BOption (b)

    8 and 6

  3. COption (c)

    5 and 6

  4. DOption (d)

    3 and 5

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

5 and 6

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Rule:

Given equation:

6 × 3 - 8 ÷ 2 + 5 = 8 ÷ 2 + 3 × 5 - 6

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) 6 and 2

After interchanging 6 and 2:

2 × 3 - 8 ÷ 6 + 5 = 8 ÷ 6 + 3 × 5 - 2

LHS = (2 × 3) - (8 ÷ 6) + 5

= 6 - 1.33 + 5

= 9.67

RHS = (8 ÷ 6) + (3 × 5) - 2

= 1.33 + 15 - 2

= 14.33

Since 9.67 ≠ 14.33, this option is incorrect.

Option 2) 8 and 6

After interchanging 8 and 6:

8 × 3 - 6 ÷ 2 + 5 = 6 ÷ 2 + 3 × 5 - 8

LHS = (8 × 3) - (6 ÷ 2) + 5

= 24 - 3 + 5

= 26

RHS = (6 ÷ 2) + (3 × 5) - 8

= 3 + 15 - 8

= 10

Since 26 ≠ 10, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) 5 and 6

After interchanging 5 and 6:

5 × 3 - 8 ÷ 2 + 6 = 8 ÷ 2 + 3 × 6 - 5

LHS = (5 × 3) - (8 ÷ 2) + 6

= 15 - 4 + 6

= 17

RHS = (8 ÷ 2) + (3 × 6) - 5

= 4 + 18 - 5

= 17

Since 17 = 17, this option is correct.

Option 4) 3 and 5

After interchanging 3 and 5:

6 × 5 - 8 ÷ 2 + 3 = 8 ÷ 2 + 5 × 3 - 6

LHS = (6 × 5) - (8 ÷ 2) + 3

= 30 - 4 + 3

= 29

RHS = (8 ÷ 2) + (5 × 3) - 6

= 4 + 15 - 6

= 13

Since 29 ≠ 13, this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
