According to the question, after interchanging the signs:
So,
- Option - (1) : ÷ and -
Given statement : 64 - 16 × 25 ÷ 80 + 10 = 59
After interchanging
64 ÷ 16 × 25 - 80 + 10 = 59
4 × 25 - 80 + 10 = 59
100 +10 - 80 = 59
110 - 80 = 59
30 ≠ 59 (LHS ≠ RHS)
- Option - (2) : ÷ and x
Given statement : 64 - 16 × 25 ÷ 80 + 10 = 59
After interchanging:
64 - 16 ÷ 25 × 80 + 10 = 59
64 - 0.64 × 80 + 10 = 59
64 + 10 - 51.2 = 59
74 - 51.2 = 59
-22.8 ≠ 59 (LHS ≠ RHS)
- Option - (3) : - and +
Given statement : 64 - 16 × 25 ÷ 80 + 10 = 59
After interchanging:
64 + 16 × 25 ÷ 80 - 10 = 59
64 + 16 × 0.3125 - 10 = 59
64 + 5 - 10 = 59
69 - 10 = 59
59 = 59 (LHS = RHS)
- Option - (4) : × and -
Given statement : 64 - 16 × 25 ÷ 80 + 10 = 59
After interchanging:
64 × 16 - 25 ÷ 80 + 10 = 59
64 × 16 - 0.3125 + 10 = 59
1024 + 10 - 0.3125 = 59
1034 - 0.3125 = 59
1033.6875 ≠ 59 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Hence, "Option - (3)" is the correct answer.
