Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

÷ and −

Solution :

The correct answer is ÷ and −.

We are given the original equation:

9+6×39÷1=10

To find which pair of signs makes the equation correct, let us interchange the signs ÷ and as per the correct option.

After interchanging ÷ and , the Left-Hand Side (LHS) of the equation becomes:

LHS=9+6×3÷91

Now, solve the expression using the BODMAS / PEMDAS rule (Order of Operations):

Step 1: Perform Multiplication and Division from left to right
6×3=18
18÷9=2

Substitute this simplified value back into the expression:
LHS=9+21

Step 2: Perform Addition and Subtraction from left to right
9+2=11
111=10

Since LHS=10 which is equal to the Right-Hand Side (RHS=10), interchanging ÷ and − satisfies the equation.
