Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe logic followed here is :-
By using BODMAS RULE :
Option 1) : 1 and 5
Given equation is : 1 × 4 + 3 - 5 = 6
After interchanging the two number the equation is as follows : 5 × 4 + 3 - 1 = 6
⇒ 5 × 4 + 3 - 1 = 6
⇒ 20 + 3 - 1 = 6
⇒ 23 - 1 = 6
⇒ 22 ≠ 6
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) : 4 and 5
Given equation is : 1 × 4 + 3 - 5 = 6
After interchanging the two number the equation is as follows : 1 × 5 + 3 - 4 = 6
⇒ 1 × 5 + 3 - 4 = 6
⇒ 5 + 3 - 4 = 6
⇒ 8 - 4 = 6
⇒ 4 ≠ 6
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) : 5 and 3
Given equation is : 1 × 4 + 3 - 5 = 6
After interchanging the two number the equation is as follows : 1 × 4 + 5 - 3 = 6
⇒ 1 × 4 + 5 - 3 = 6
⇒ 4 + 5 - 3 = 6
⇒ 9 - 3 = 6
⇒ 6 = 6
LHS = RHS
Option 4) : 3 and 6
Given equation is : 1 × 4 + 3 - 5 = 6
After interchanging the two number the equation is as follows : 1 × 4 + 6 - 5 = 3
⇒ 1 × 4 + 6 - 5 = 3
⇒ 4 + 6 - 5 = 3
⇒ 10 - 5 = 3
⇒ 5 ≠ 3
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "5 and 3".
