Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFHere, we use the BODMAS table given below:
Given:
⇒ 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
(1) 7 and 6 × and ÷
⇒ 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
After interchanging the sign and number:
⇒ 6 ÷ 14 × 7 + 12 + 7 = 30
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 0.428 × 7 + 12 + 7
⇒ 3 + 12 + 7
⇒ 15 + 7 = 22
Here, the equation is not satisfied.
(2) 7 and 14, × and ÷
⇒ 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
After interchanging the sign and number:
⇒ 14 ÷ 7 × 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 2 × 6 + 12 + 6
⇒ 12 + 12 + 6
⇒ 24 + 6 = 30
⇒ '14 ÷ 7 × 6 + 12 + 6 = 30'
Here, the equation is satisfied.
(3) 7 and 6, ÷ and +
⇒ 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
After interchanging the sign and number:
⇒ 6 × 14 + 7 ÷ 12 ÷ 7 = 30
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 6 × 14 + 7 ÷ 1.714
⇒ 6 × 14 + 4.08
⇒ 84 + 4.08
⇒ 88.08
Here, the equation is not satisfied.
(4) 7 and 14, × and +
⇒ 7 × 14 ÷ 6 + 12 + 6 = 30
After interchanging the sign and number:
⇒ 14 + 7 ÷ 6 × 12 × 6 = 30
Apply BODMAS rule:
⇒ 14 + 7 ÷ 6 × 12 × 6
⇒ 14 + 1.166 × 12 × 6
⇒ 14 + 84 = 98
Here, the equation is not satisfied.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
