Correct answer
9 and 5
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Table:
Decoding the given information:
| Interchanged Numbers | 9 | 5 |
|---|---|---|
| New Position | 5 | 9 |
Now, replacing the numbers and using BODMAS Rule, we get:
⇒ (45 ÷ 5) + (2 × 3 × 9) ÷ 6 + 4 × 7 − 15 = 31
⇒ 9 + 9 + 28 − 15 = 31
⇒ 18 + 28 − 15 = 31
⇒ 46 − 15 = 31
⇒ 31 = 31
Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".
