The pattern followed here is:

Find which of the following equation will be not correct.

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) 8 × 3 ÷ 6 + 9 – 7 = 2

Given: 7 and 9

⇒ 8 × 3 ÷ 6 + 7 – 9 = 2

8 × 0.5 + 7 - 9 = 2

4 + 7 - 9 = 2

11 - 9 = 2

⇒ 2 = 2

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 2) 7 + 6 – 9 × 4 ÷ 2 = 2

Given: 7 and 9

⇒ 9 + 6 – 7 × 4 ÷ 2 = 2

⇒ 9 + 6 - 7 × 2 = 2

9 + 6 - 14 = 2

⇒ 15 - 14 = 2

⇒ 1 ≠ 2

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) 9 + 4 × 3 – 7 ÷ 1 = 10

Given: 7 and 9

⇒ 7 + 4 × 3 – 9 ÷ 1 = 10

⇒ 7 + 4 × 3 - 9 = 10

7 + 12 - 9 = 10

⇒ 19 - 9 = 10

⇒ 10 = 10

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 4) 9 × 3 + 4 ÷ 2 – 7 = 14

Given: 7 and 9

⇒ 7 × 3 + 4 ÷ 2 – 9 = 14

7 × 3 + 2 - 9 = 14

21 + 2 - 9 = 14

23 - 9 = 14

⇒ 14 = 14

⇒ LHS = RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
