The correct terms to be interchanged have been given as one of the four alternatives under the expressions. Find the correct alternatives in each case..
1.       6 x 3 + 8 ÷ 2 – 1 = 9 – 8 ÷ 4 + 5 x 2
 (a) 3,4                                            (b) 3,5
 (c) 6, 9                                           (d) 9,5
2.       8 ÷ 2 x 5 - 11 + 9 = 6 x 2 – 5 + 4 ÷ 2
 (a) 5,9                                            (b) 8,5
 (c)9,6                                             (d) 11, 5
3.      15 + 3 x 4 -8 ÷ 2 = 8 x 5 + 16 ÷ 2 – 1
  (a) 3, 5                                           (b) 15,5               
 (c) 15, 16                                       (d) 3,1
4.       Select the correct set of symbols which will fit in the given equation 5 0 3 5 = 20.
 (a) x,x,x                                          (b) -,+,x                               
 (c) x, +,x                                         (d) +,-,+
5.       If A + B > C + D and B + C > A + D, then it is definite that
 (a) D > B                                       (b) C > D              
 (c)A > D                                        (d) B > D
6.       If A > B, B > C and C> D, then which of the following conclusions is definitely wrong?
 (a) A > D                                      (b) A > C
 (c) D > A                                      (d) B> D
7.       If A + B = 2C and C + D = 2A,then
 (a) A + C = B + D                       (b) A + C = 2D
 (c) A + D = B + C                       (d) A + C = 2B
8.       If A + B = C + D and A + D > B + C, then which one of the following is definitely wrong?
 (a) A > B                                      (b) A>C
 (c) C >D                                       (d) B > D
9.       If ‘+’ stands for ‘division’, ‘÷’ stands for ‘multiplication’, ‘x’ stands for ‘subtraction’ and ‘-‘stands for ‘addition’, which one of the following is correct?
(a) 18 ÷ 6 x 7 + 5 – 2 = 22            (b) 18 x 6 + 7 ÷ 5 -2 = 11
(c) 18 ÷ 6 -7 +5 x 2 = 20               (d) 18 + 6 ÷ 7 x 5 – 2 18
10.   If A + D > C + E , C + D = 2B and B + E > C + D , it necessarily follows that
(a) B + D > C + E                         (b) A + B > 2D
(c) A + D > B + E                         (d) A + D > B + C
