Now, we check each option.
Option 1:
Given equation: 16 ÷ 9 + 4 × 8 = 32
After the signs, ‘+ and ÷’ are interchanged, New equation is:
16 + 9 ÷ 4 × 8 = 32
⇒ 16 + 2.25 × 8 = 32
⇒ 16 + 18 = 32
34 ≠ 32
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2:
Given equation: 16 ÷ 21 + 13 × 26 = 58
After the signs, ‘+ and ÷’ are interchanged, New equation is:
16 + 21 ÷ 13 × 26 = 58
⇒ 16 + 1.61 × 26 = 58
⇒ 16 + 42 = 58
58 = 58
LHS = RHS
Option 3:
Given equation: 13 × 9 + 16 ÷ 2 = 125
After the signs, ‘+ and ÷’ are interchanged, New equation is:
13 × 9 ÷ 16 + 2 = 125
⇒ 13 × 0.562 + 2 = 125
⇒ 7.31 + 2 = 125
9.31 ≠ 125
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 4:
Given equation: 11 + 13 × 4 ÷ 2 = 37
After the signs, ‘+ and ÷’ are interchanged, New equation is:
11 ÷ 13 × 4 + 2 = 37
⇒ 0.846 × 4 + 2 = 37
⇒ 3.38 + 2 = 37
5.38 ≠ 37
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, The correct answer is "16 ÷ 21 + 13 × 26 = 58".
