Correct Answer: ÷ and –
Solution : Given: 15 × 18 – 6 ÷ 20 + 4 = 29
Replace the given signs in the options one by one with the original signs in the given equation. First option: + and × = 15 + 18 – 6 ÷ 20 × 4 = 15 + 18 – 0.3 × 4 = 15 + 18 – 1.2 = 31.8 ≠ 29 Second option: ÷ and – = 15 × 18 ÷ 6 – 20 + 4 = 15 × 3 – 20 + 4 = 45 – 20 + 4 = 29 = R.H.S. Third option: + and ÷ = 15 × 18 – 6 + 20 ÷ 4 = 15 × 18 – 6 + 5 = 270 – 6 + 5 = 269 ≠ 29 Fourth option: – and + = 15 × 18 + 6 ÷ 20 – 4 = 15 × 18 + 0.3 – 4 = 270 + 0.3 – 4 = 270.3 – 4 = 266.3 ≠ 29
So, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
