Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation c...
Using BODMAS rule,
Option 1 → Interchanging 7 and 15
18 + 2 (15 × 2) – 11 (4 – 2) + 7 ÷ 3 = 27
18 + 2 (30) – 11(2) + 2.3 = 27
18 + 60 – 22 + 2.3 = 27
80.3 – 22 ≠ 27
Option 2 → Interchanging 15 and 18
15 + 2 (7 × 2) – 11 (4 - 2) + 18 ÷ 3 = 27
15 + 28 – 22 + 6 = 27
49 – 22 = 27
27 = 27
Option 3 → Interchanging 7 and 11
18 + 2 (11 × 2) – 7 (4 - 2) + 15 ÷ 3 = 27
18 + 44 – 14 + 5 = 27
67 – 14 ≠ 27
Option 4 → Interchanging 11 and 18
11 + 2 (7 × 2) – 18 (4 - 2) + 15 ÷ 3 = 27
11 + 28 -36 + 5 = 27
44 – 36 ≠ 27
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation c...
Explanation:
To make the given equation correct, we need to interchange two numbers. Let's break down the equation step by step and see which numbers need to be interchanged.
Step 1: Simplify the expression on the left side of the equation.
18 - 2(7 × 2) – 11(4 - 2) = 18 - 2(14) - 11(2) = 18 - 28 - 22 = -32
Step 2: Simplify the expression on the right side of the equation.
15 ÷ 3 = 5
The given equation is:
-32 = 27a
We need to find the value of 'a' that satisfies this equation.
Now, let's consider each option and see if it satisfies the equation.
Option A: 7 and 15 interchanged
If we interchange 7 and 15, the equation becomes:
18 - 2(15 × 2) – 11(4 - 2) = 18 - 2(30) - 11(2) = 18 - 60 - 22 = -64
-64 ≠ 27a
Option B: 15 and 18 interchanged
If we interchange 15 and 18, the equation becomes:
15 - 2(7 × 2) – 11(4 - 2) = 15 - 2(14) - 11(2) = 15 - 28 - 22 = -35
-35 ≠ 27a
Option C: 7 and 11 interchanged
If we interchange 7 and 11, the equation becomes:
18 - 2(11 × 2) – 11(4 - 2) = 18 - 2(22) - 11(2) = 18 - 44 - 22 = -48
-48 ≠ 27a
Option D: 11 and 18 interchanged
If we interchange 11 and 18, the equation becomes:
18 - 2(7 × 2) – 18(4 - 2) = 18 - 2(14) - 18(2) = 18 - 28 - 36 = -46
-46 ≠ 27a
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 15 and 18 should be interchanged to make the equation correct.
