Question

Given interchanges : 
Signs + and - and numbers 4 and 8.

  • A) 4 ÷ 8 - 12 = 16
  • B) 4 - 8 + 12 = 0
  • C) 8 ÷ 4 - 12 = 24
  • D) 8 - 4 ÷ 12 = 8
Solution

On interchanging + and - and 4 and 8 in (b),
we get the equation as
8 + 4 - 12 = 0 
or 12 - 12 = 0
or 0 = 0, which is true.

On interchanging + and - and 4 and 8 in (b),
we get the equation as
8 + 4 - 12 = 0 
or 12 - 12 = 0
or 0 = 0, which is true.
