Question

Which of the following equations would be correct if the signs ‘+’ and ‘\(\times\)’ are interchanged and so also the numbers ‘6’ and ‘12’?

• A. \( 12 + 2 + 6 \times 8 - 6 = 6 + 2 \)
• B. \( 8 - 6 + 12 \times 4 + 12 = 10 + 2 \)
• C. \( 12 \times 4 + 2 - 10 + 5 = 6 - 2 \)
• D. \( 8 + 3 + 12 - 9 \times 6 = 10 - 3 \)

Hint:

In such questions, carefully apply the sign and number changes as per the instruction and evaluate each equation step by step to determine if it holds true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

By interchanging the signs and numbers as stated in the problem, the correct equation is option 4, where the arithmetic checks out.
