Step-by-step solution

The problem asks us to find which two numbers, when interchanged in the given equation, will make the equation correct.
The given equation is:

25−28+21×10÷5=4325 - 28 + 21 \times 10 \div 5 = 43

First, let's evaluate the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation using the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS):

25−28+21×10÷525 - 28 + 21 \times 10 \div 5
  1. Perform division.

    10÷5=210 \div 5 = 2

    The equation becomes:

    25−28+21×225 - 28 + 21 \times 2
  2. Perform multiplication.

    21×2=4221 \times 2 = 42

    The equation becomes:

    25−28+4225 - 28 + 42
  3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

    25−28=−325 - 28 = -3 −3+42=39-3 + 42 = 39

    So, currently, the equation is 39=4339 = 43, which is incorrect. We need to find a swap that makes the LHS equal to 43.

    Let's test each option:

    • Option 1: Swap 5 and 28 The equation becomes:

      25−5+21×10÷2825 - 5 + 21 \times 10 \div 28 25−5+21×102825 - 5 + 21 \times \frac{10}{28} 20+21×51420 + 21 \times \frac{5}{14} 20+3×7×52×720 + \frac{3 \times 7 \times 5}{2 \times 7} 20+152=20+7.5=27.520 + \frac{15}{2} = 20 + 7.5 = 27.5

      Since 27.5≠4327.5 \neq 43, this option is incorrect.

    • Option 2: Swap 21 and 25 The equation becomes:

      21−28+25×10÷521 - 28 + 25 \times 10 \div 5
  4. Perform division.

    $$
    10 \div 5 = 2
    $$
    The equation becomes:
    $$
    21 - 28 + 25 \times 2
    $$
    
  5. Perform multiplication.

    $$
    25 \times 2 = 50
    $$
    The equation becomes:
    $$
    21 - 28 + 50
    $$
    
  6. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

    $$
    21 - 28 = -7
    $$
    $$
    -7 + 50 = 43
    $$
    Since $43 = 43$, this option makes the equation correct.
    
    • Option 3: Swap 10 and 43 The number 43 is the target value on the right-hand side of the equation, not a number within the expression to be swapped. Therefore, this option is not valid for this type of problem.

    • Option 4: Swap 21 and 28 The equation becomes:

      25−21+28×10÷525 - 21 + 28 \times 10 \div 5
  7. Perform division.

    $$
    10 \div 5 = 2
    $$
    The equation becomes:
    $$
    25 - 21 + 28 \times 2
    $$
    
  8. Perform multiplication.

    $$
    28 \times 2 = 56
    $$
    The equation becomes:
    $$
    25 - 21 + 56
    $$
    
  9. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

    $$
    25 - 21 = 4
    $$
    $$
    4 + 56 = 60
    $$
    Since $60 \neq 43$, this option is incorrect.
    

    Based on the evaluation, swapping 21 and 25 makes the equation correct.

    The final answer is 21 এবং 25\text{21 এবং 25}
