Detailed Solution

Given expression is

35 − 14 ÷ 7 = 35 ÷ 7 − 14 ÷ 7

Here, the BODMAS rule must be applied.
The order of calculations will be as follows in accordance with the BODMAS rule as shown.
Brackets (B), Of (O), Division (D), Multiplication (M), Addition (A), and Subtraction (S).
From the LHS, we have,

35 − 14 ÷ 7 = 35 − 147 = 35 − 2 = 33 = L H S

For the RHS, we have,

35 ÷ 7 − 14 ÷ 7 = 357 − 147 = 5 − 2 = 3 = R H S

From the above statements, we get that

L H S ≠ R H S

.
Thus, the given statement is false and 35 – 14 ÷ 7 is not equal to 35 ÷ 7 – 14 ÷ 7.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
