Option 4 : ÷ and -

Given equation: 18 × 12 - 6 ÷ 5 + 4 = 35

1) on interchanging ‘+ and ×’ we get,

18 + 12 - 6 ÷ 5 × 4 = 35

→ 18 + 12 - 4.8

→ 30 - 4.8

→ 25.2 ≠ 35

2) On interchanging ‘+ and ÷’ we get,

18 × 12 - 6 + 5 ÷ 4 = 35

→ 216 - 6 + 1.25

→ 217.25 - 6

→ 211.25 ≠ 35

3) On interchanging ‘- and +’ we get,

18 × 12 + 6 ÷ 5 - 4 = 35

→ 216 + 1.2 - 4

→ 213.2 ≠ 35

4) On interchanging ‘÷ and -’ we get,

18 × 12 ÷ 6 - 5 + 4 = 35

→ 18 × 2 - 5 + 4

→ 36 - 5 + 1

→ 35 = 35

Hence, we should change ‘÷ and -’ symbols.
