  3. COption (c)

    × and +

  4. DOption (d)

    ÷ and ×

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

÷ and +

Why this answer is correct

Given equation:

6 - 20 ÷ 12 × 7 + 1 = 70

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) ÷ and +

After interchanging ÷ and +:

6 - 20 + 12 × 7 ÷ 1 = 70

= 6 - 20 + 84 ÷ 1

= 6 - 20 + 84

= 70

Since 70 = 70, this option is correct.

Option 2) × and -

After interchanging × and -:

6 × 20 ÷ 12 - 7 + 1 = 70

= 120 ÷ 12 - 7 + 1

= 10 - 7 + 1

= 4

Since 4 ≠ 70, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) × and +

After interchanging × and +:

6 - 20 ÷ 12 + 7 × 1 = 70

= 6 - 1.67 + 7

= 11.33 (approx)

Since 11.33 ≠ 70, this option is incorrect.

Option 4) ÷ and ×

After interchanging ÷ and ×:

6 - 20 × 12 ÷ 7 + 1 = 70

= 6 - 34.29 + 1

= -27.29 (approx)

Since -27.29 ≠ 70, this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
