7 and 4

16 and 2

7 and 3

- Original Equation: 16 ÷ 7 × 2 + 4 - 3 = 12

- Option 1: Interchanging 2 and 4 would yield 16 ÷ 7 × 4 + 2 - 3. This doesn't satisfy the equation resulting in a different value.

- Option 2: Interchanging 7 and 4 gives 16 ÷ 4 × 2 + 7 - 3. Simplifying this results in 8 + 7 - 3 = 12, which satisfies the equation.

- Option 3: Swapping 16 and 2, the equation becomes 2 ÷ 7 × 16 + 4 - 3, which doesn't meet the original equation.

- Option 4: Interchanging 7 and 3 gives 16 ÷ 3 × 2 + 4 - 7, which also doesn't satisfy the equation.
