Given Equation ⇒ 9 × 3 + 8 ÷ 4 – 7 = 28

After interchanging,

1) × and –

⇒ 9 – 3 + 8 ÷ 4 × 7 = 28

⇒ 5 + 2 × 7 = 28

→ 19 = 28 (LHS ≠ RHS) (False)

2) + and –

⇒ 9 × 3 – 8 ÷ 4 + 7 = 28

⇒ 27 – 2 + 7 = 28

→ 33 = 28 (LHS ≠ RHS) (False)

3) ÷ and +

⇒ 9 × 3 ÷ 8 + 4 – 7 = 28

⇒ 3.375 – 3 = 28

→ 0.375 = 28 (LHS ≠ RHS) (False)

4) × and ÷

⇒ 9 ÷ 3 + 8 × 4 – 7 = 28

⇒ 3 + 32 – 7 = 28

⇒ 28 = 28 (True)
