Correct Answer: +, ÷, ×
Solution : Given: (8 – 8) + 8 × 32 = 64
Let's check the options —
First option: ×, +, – On replacing → (8 × 8) + 8 – 32 = 64 = (8 × 8) + 8 – 32 = 64 + 8 – 32 = 72 – 32 = 40 ≠ 64
Second option: –, ÷, + On replacing → (8 – 8) ÷ 8 + 32 = 64 = (8 – 8) ÷ 8 + 32 = 0 ÷ 8 + 32 = 0 + 32 = 32 ≠ 64
Third option: +, ÷, + On replacing → (8 + 8) ÷ 8 + 32 = 64 = (8 + 8) ÷ 8 + 32 = 16 ÷ 8 + 32 = 2 + 32 = 34 ≠ 64
Fourth option: +, ÷, × On replacing → (8 + 8) ÷ 8 × 32 = 64 = (8 + 8) ÷ 8 × 32 = 16 ÷ 8 × 32 = 2 × 32 = 64
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
