Given :

\(18 + (12 × 6) + (63 ÷ 7) × 4 +{(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}-11=112\:\)

Calculation:

By option Method:

Option 1 : exchange 18, 11

\(11 + (12 × 6) + (63 ÷ 7) × 4 +{(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}-18=112\:\)

11 + 72 + 9 x 4 + 3 - 18 = 112

11 + 72 + 36 +3 -18 = 112

⇒ 104 112

This is not correct the equation.

Option 2 : exchange 12, 4

\(18 + (4 × 6) + (63 ÷ 7) × 12 +{(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}-11=112\:\)

18 + 24 + 9 x 12 + 3 -11 = 112

⇒ 18 + 24 + 108 + 3 -11 = 112

142 ≠ 112

This is not correct the equation.

Option 3: exchange 6, 4

\(18 + (12 × 4) + (63 ÷ 7) × 6 +{(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}-11=112\:\)

⇒ 18 + 48 + 9 x 6 + 3 -11 = 112

⇒ 18 + 48 + 54 + 3 -11 = 112

112 = 112

This is correct the equation.

Option 4: exchange 18, 12

\(12 + (18 × 6) + (63 ÷ 7) × 4 +{(27)^{\frac{1}{3}}}-11=112\:\)

12 + 108 + 9 x 4 +3 -11 =112

⇒ 12 + 108 + 36 +3 -11 =112

148 ≠ 112

This is not correct the equation.

Hence, 'Option 3' is the correct answer.
