Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 1496 × 8 + 13 - 40 ÷ 5 = 0 Correct Answer × and ÷

Checking each option one by one:

Given equation: 1496 × 8 + 13 - 40 ÷ 5 = 0

1) ÷ and +

1496 × 8 ÷ 13 - 40 + 5

According to BODMAS rule;

= 1496 × 0.615 - 40 + 5

= 920.04 - 40 + 5 

= 925.01 - 40

= 885.01 ≠ 0

2) × and +

1496 + 8 × 13 - 40 ÷ 5

According to BODMAS rule;

= 1496 + 8 × 13 - 8

= 1496 + 104 - 8

= 1600 - 8

= 1592 ≠ 0

3) - and +

1496 × 8 - 13 + 40 ÷ 5

According to BODMAS rule;

= 1496 × 8 - 13 + 8

= 11968 - 13 + 8

= 11976 - 13

= 11963 ≠ 0

4) × and ÷

1496 ÷ 8 + 13 - 40 × 5

According to BODMAS rule-

= 187 + 13 - 40 × 5

= 187 + 13 - 200

= 200 - 200

= 0
