Correct Answer: – and ÷


Solution : Given:

5 + 3 × 8 – 12 ÷ 4 = 3

Let's check the options —

First option: – and ÷;

After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes 5 + 3 × 8 ÷ 12 – 4 = 3 . So, this relation holds true.

Second option: + and ×;

After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes 5 × 3 + 8 – 12 ÷ 4 = 20 . So, the relation does not hold true.

Third option: + and ÷;

After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes 5 ÷ 3 × 8 – 12 + 4 = 5.33 . So, the relation does not hold true.

Fourth option: + and –;

After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes 5 – 3 × 8 + 12 ÷ 4 = – 16 . So, the relation does not hold true.

Hence, the first option is correct.
