By interchanging the given two signs, × and ÷, which of the following equations will NOT be correct? I. 24 ÷ 4 − 12 × 2 + 6 = 18 II. 15 ÷ 5 × 9 + 10 − 8 = 19

1. Only I
2. Both I and II
3. Neither I nor II
4. Only II

Correct answer: Both I and II

Solution

Interchanging × and ÷ changes the structure of both equations, and neither of the transformed equations matches the given result. Therefore, both statements become incorrect.
