According to the question, after interchanging the given two numbers '5 and 9' :

So,

  • Option - (1) : 9 × 4 + 5 - 8 ÷ 2 = 25

5 × 4 + 9 - 8 ÷ 2 = 25

5 × 4 + 9 - 4 = 25

20 + 9 - 4 = 25

29 - 4 = 25

25 = 25 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (2) : 9 - 5 × 4 + 6 ÷ 3 = -30

5 - 9 × 4 + 6 ÷ 3 = -30

5 - 9 × 4 + 2 = -30

5 + 2 -36 = -30

7 - 36 = -30

-29 -30 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (3) : 9 + 7 × 8 ÷ 4 - 5 = 10

5 + 7 × 8 ÷ 4 - 9 = 10

5 + 7 × 2 - 9 = 10

5 + 14 - 9 = 10

19 - 9 = 10

10 = 10 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (4) : 9 - 4 × 5 + 6 ÷ 2 = -28

5 - 4 × 9 + 6 ÷ 2 = -28

5 - 4 × 9 + 3 = -28

5 + 3 - 36 = -28

8 - 36 = -28

-28 = -28 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (2)" is the correct answer.
