    Which one of the following signs, if changed, will make the equation correct? \[25\div 5+17\times 2-6=10\]

    A) \[\div \,and\,-\]

    B)                      \[+\,and\,-\]

    C) \[\times \,and\,-\]

    D)        \[\div \,and\,-\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [c] is correct. After changing the signs the equations will be: [a] \[25-5+17\times 2\div 6\] \[25-5+\frac{17}{3}\]     (the answer will be in fractions whereas 10 is a whole number, so no further calculation) [b] \[25\div 5-17\times 2+6\] \[5-34+6=-23\]              which is wrong [c] \[25\div 5+17-2\times 6\] \[5+17-12=10\]              which is correct [d] \[25+5\div 17\times 2-6\]                    \[\text{(5 }\!\!\div\!\!\text{ 17}\,\text{gives}\,\,\text{the}\,\text{answer}\,\text{as}\,\,\text{in}\,\text{(A)}\,\text{)}\].
