According to the question, by Interchanging the given two numbers i.e '4 and 6':

So,

  • Option - (1) : 4 ÷ 2 + 3 - 6 × 5 = -14

6 ÷ 2 + 3 - 4 × 5 = -14

3 + 3 - 4 × 5 = -14

3 + 3 - 20 = -14

6 - 20 = -14

-14 = -14 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (2) : 9 ÷ 3 + 6 × 5 - 4 = 18

9 ÷ 3 + 4 × 5 - 6 = 18

3 + 4 × 5 - 6 = 18

3 + 20 - 6 = 18

23 - 6 = 18

17 ≠ 18 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (3) : 4 × 3 + 6 - 2 ÷ 1 = 21

6 × 3 + 4 - 2 ÷ 1 = 21

6 × 3 + 4 - 2 = 21

18 + 4 - 2 = 21

22 - 2 = 21

20 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (4) : 4 - 6 ÷ 2 + 3 × 5 = 20

6 - 4 ÷ 2 + 3 × 5 = 20

6 - 2 + 3 × 5 = 20

6 + 15 - 2 = 20

21 - 2 = 20

19 ≠ 20 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option - (1)" is the correct answer.
