Correct Answer: +, ÷, –, =


Solution : Given:
15 * 24 * 3 * 6 * 17

Let's check the options —

First option: –, ÷, +, =
On replacing → 15 – 24 ÷ 3 + 6 = 17
⇒ 15 – 24 ÷ 3 + 6 = 17
⇒ 15 – 8 + 6 = 17
⇒ 21 – 3 = 17
⇒ 18 ≠ 17

Second option: +, ÷, –, =
On replacing → 15 + 24 ÷ 3 – 6 = 17
⇒ 15 + 24 ÷ 3 – 6 = 17
⇒ 15 + 8 – 6 = 17
⇒ 23 – 6 = 17
⇒ 17 = 17

Third option: +, ×, =, ÷
On replacing → 15 + 24 × 3 = 6 ÷ 17
⇒ 15 + 24 × 3 = 6 ÷ 17
⇒ 15 + 72 = 0.35
⇒ 87 ≠ 0.35

Fourth option: –, ×, =, +
On replacing → 15 – 24 × 3 = 6 + 17
⇒ 15 – 24 × 3 = 6 + 17
⇒ 15 – 72 = 23
⇒ –57 ≠ 23

Hence, the second option is correct.
