Which one of the four interchanges in signs and numbers would make the given equation correct? 3 + 5 – 2 = 4

  • A.+ and –, 2 and 3
  • B.+ and –, 2 and 5
  • C.+ and –, 3 and 5
  • D.None of these

Answer: C

Correct answer: + and –, 3 and 5

Interchanging the two signs and the numbers 3 and 5 turns \( 3 + 5 - 2 \) into \( 5 - 3 + 2 \), which is 4 as required. Swapping 2 with 3 instead gives \( 2 - 5 + 3 = 0 \), and swapping 2 with 5 gives \( 3 - 2 + 5 = 6 \) - so only the third interchange works.
