Correct Answer: × and –
Solution : Given:
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation.
First option: ÷ and – = 12 + 10 ÷ 28 – 7 × 4 = 12 + 0.35 – 7 × 4 = 12 + 0.35 – 28 = –15.65 ≠ 48
Second option: + and ÷ = 12 ÷ 10 – 28 + 7 × 4 = 1.2 – 28 + 28 = 1.2 ≠ 48
Third option: – and + = 12 – 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 12 – 10 + 4 × 4 = 12 – 10 + 16 = 18 ≠ 48
Fourth option: × and – = 12 + 10 × 28 ÷ 7 – 4 = 12 + 10 × 4 – 4 = 12 + 40 – 4 = 52 – 4 = 48 (This satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation)
Here, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
