qImage642ff3845d974f487bfbff47

After interchanging '+ and ×':

Option 1) 7 + 5 × 2 – 8 ÷ 4 = 36

7 × 5 + 2 - 8 ÷ 4 = 36

× 5 + 2 - 2 = 36

35 + 2 - 2 = 36

37 - 2 = 36

35 ≠ 36

Option 2) 95 ÷ 19 + 5 × 3 – 6 = 22

95 ÷ 19 × 5 + 3 - 6 = 22

5 × 5 + 3 - 6 = 22

25 + 3 - 6 = 22

28 - 6 = 22

22 = 22

Option 3) 13 + 4 × 5 – 6 ÷ 2 = 51

13 × 4 + 5 - 6 ÷ 2 = 51 

13 × 4 + 5 - 3 = 51 

52 + 5 - 3 = 51 

57 - 3 = 51 

54 ≠ 51

Option 4) 4 × 3 + 6 – 7 ÷ 1 = 18 

4 + 3 × 6 - 7 ÷ 1 = 18

4 + 3 × 6 - 7 = 18

4 + 18 - 7 = 18

22 - 7 = 18

15 ≠ 18

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
