14 + 16 - 14 × 9 ÷ 4 = 61

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

16 and 9, + and -

The given equation is: 14 + 16 - 14 × 9 ÷ 4 = 61. If we interchange 16 and 9, and change the signs "+" and "-", the equation becomes: 14 - 9 + 16 × 14 ÷ 4 = 61, which simplifies to: 14 - 9 + 56 = 61, which is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
