Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe pattern followed here is:
We have to interchange the given numbers in the options and find which option is correct.
Given: 14 + 39 - ( \(\sqrt{144}\) ÷ 4 ) + ( 5 × 3 ) - 6 = 63
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) 14 and 6
After interchanging the numbers we get the:
⇒ 6 + 39 - ( \(\sqrt{144}\) ÷ 4 ) + ( 5 × 3 ) - 14 = 63
⇒ 6 + 39 - (12 ÷ 4) + (5 × 3) - 14 = 63
⇒ 6 + 39 - 3 + 15 - 14 = 63
⇒ 60 - 3 - 14 = 63
⇒ 43 ≠ 63
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) 5 and 39
After interchanging the numbers we get the:
⇒ 14 + 5 - ( \(\sqrt{144}\) ÷ 4) + (39 × 3) - 6 = 63
⇒ 14 + 5 - (12 ÷ 4) + (39 × 3) - 6 = 63
⇒ 14 + 5 - 3 + 117 - 6 = 63
⇒ 136 - 3 - 6 = 63
⇒ 127 ≠ 63
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) 4 and 3
After interchanging the numbers we get the:
⇒ 14 + 39 - ( \(\sqrt{144}\) ÷ 3) + ( 5 × 4) - 6 = 63
⇒ 14 + 39 - (12 ÷ 3) + (5 × 4) - 6 = 63
⇒ 14 + 39 - 4 + 20 - 6 = 63
⇒ 73 - 4 - 6 = 63
⇒ 63 = 63
⇒ LHS = RHS
Option 4) 4 and 6
After interchanging the numbers we get the:
⇒ 14 + 39 - (\(\sqrt{144}\) ÷ 6) + (5 × 3 ) - 4 = 63
⇒ 14 + 39 - (12 ÷ 6) + (5 × 3) - 4 = 63
⇒ 14 + 39 - 2 + 15 - 4 = 63
⇒ 68 - 2 - 4 = 63
⇒ 62 ≠ 63
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
