Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven equation : 63 + 5 ÷ 35 - 7 × 21 = 23
According to the question, after interchanging the mathematical signs:
So,
- Option - (1) : ÷ and ×
63 + 5 ÷ 35 - 7 × 21 = 23 ⇒ 63 + 5 × 35 - 7 ÷ 21 = 23
63 + 5 × 35 - 0.33 = 23
63 + 175 - 0.33 = 23
238 - 0.33 = 23
237.67 ≠ 23 (LHS ≠ RHS)
- Option - (2) : × and +
63 + 5 ÷ 35 - 7 × 21 = 23 ⇒ 63 × 5 ÷ 35 - 7 + 21 = 23
63 × 0.14 - 7 + 21 = 23
9 + 21 - 7 = 23
30 - 7 = 23
23 = 23 (LHS = RHS)
- Option - (3) : ÷ and +
63 + 5 ÷ 35 - 7 × 21 = 23 ⇒ 63 ÷ 5 + 35 - 7 × 21 = 23
12.6 + 35 - 7 × 21 = 23
12.6 + 35 - 147 = 23
47.6 - 147 = 23
-99.4 ≠ 23 (LHS ≠ RHS)
- Option - (4) : + and -
63 + 5 ÷ 35 - 7 × 21 = 23 ⇒ 63 - 5 ÷ 35 + 7 × 21 = 23
63 - 0.14 + 7 × 21 = 23
63 + 147 - 0.14 = 23
210 - 0.14 = 23
209.86 ≠ 23 (LHS ≠ RHS)
