Replace the given symbols and numbers in the options one by one with the original symbols and numbers in the given equation.
First option:
× and +, 6 and 2
= 2 + 8 × 6
= 2 + 48
= 50 ≠ 20
Second option:
+ and ×, 6 and 8
= 8 + 6 × 2
= 8 + 12
= 20
Third option:
+ and ×, 2 and 8
= 6 + 2 × 8
= 6 + 16
= 22 ≠ 20
Fourth option:
× and +, 2 and 6
= 2 + 8 × 6
= 2 + 48
= 50 ≠ 20
