The pattern followed here is:

Given: × and +, 7 and 4

I. 7 × 8 + 4 – 6 ÷ 3 = 57

Given: × and +, 7 and 4

⇒ 4 + 8 × 7 – 6 ÷ 3 = 57

⇒ 4 + 8 × 7 - 2 = 57

⇒ 4 + 56 - 2 = 57

⇒ 60 - 2 = 57

⇒ 58 ≠ 57 (Not Correct)

II. 4 × 8 – 9 ÷ 3 + 7 = 3

Given: × and +, 7 and 4

⇒ 7 + 8 – 9 ÷ 3 × 4 = 3

⇒ 7 + 8 - 3 × 4 = 3

7 + 8 - 12 = 3

15 - 12 = 3

⇒ 3 = 3 (Correct)

So, Only I is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
