Direction: What should be the correct signs to balance the following equations ?
-
7 4 8 2 = 24
-
- -, x and x
- -, x and ÷
- x, - and ÷
- x, ÷ and -
Correct Option: C
Let us check all the options one-by-one.
From option (a),
7 - 4 x 8 x 2 = 24 (using VBODMAS rule)
⇒ 7 - 64 = 24 ⇒ -57 = 24
∴ LHS ≠ RHS ≠ RHS
So, option (a) is incorrect.
From option (b),
7 - 4 x 8 ÷ 2 = 24 (using VBODMAS rule)
⇒ 7 - 4 x 8 ÷ 2 = 24 (using VBODMAS rule)
⇒ 7 - 4 x 4 = 24 ⇒ 7 - 16 = 24
⇒ -9 = 24 ⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
So, option (b) is incorrect .
From option (c),
7 x 4 - 8 ÷ 2 = 24 (using VBODMAS rule)
⇒ 7 x 4 - 4 = 24 ⇒ 28 - 4 = 24
⇒ 24 = 24 ⇒ LHS = RHS
So, option (c) is correct and hence, there is no need to check option (d).
