Correct Answer: × and ÷
Solution : Given: 6 ÷ 17 × 51 + 6 – 12 = –4
Let's check the options – First option: × and ÷ ⇒ 6 × 17 ÷ 51 + 6 – 12 = –4 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 × 17 ÷ 51 + 6 – 12 = 2 + 6 – 12 = 8 – 12 = –4 Second option: + and ÷ ⇒ 6 + 17 × 51 ÷ 6 – 12 = –4 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 + 17 × 51 ÷ 6 – 12 = 6 + 17 × 8.5 – 12 = 6 + 144.5 – 12 = 150.5 – 12 = 138.5 ≠ –4 Third option: + and – ⇒ 6 ÷ 17 × 51 – 6 + 12 = –4 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 ÷ 17 × 51 – 6 + 12 = 18 – 6 + 12 = 30 – 6 = 24 ≠ –4 Fourth option: – and ÷ ⇒ 6 – 17 × 51 + 6 ÷ 12 = –4 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 – 17 × 51 + 6 ÷ 12 = 6 – 17 × 51 + 0.5 = 6 – 867 + 0.5 = 6.5 – 867 = –860.5 ≠ –4
Only the first option satisfies the equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
