Correct Answer: – and +


Solution : Given:
43 + 9 – 6 ÷ 3 × 8 = 50

Replace the given signs in the options one by one with those in the given equation.
First option: ÷ and ×
= 43 + 9 – 6 × 3 ÷ 8
= 43 + 9 – 6 × 0.375
= 43 + 9 – 2.25
= 49.75 ≠ 50
Second option: + and ÷
= 43 ÷ 9 – 6 + 3 × 8
= 4.78 – 6 + 3 × 8
= 4.78 – 6 + 24
= 22.78 ≠ 50
Third option: – and +
= 43 – 9 + 6 ÷ 3 × 8
= 43 – 9 + 2 × 8
= 43 – 9 + 16
= 50
Fourth option: – and ×
= 43 + 9 × 6 ÷ 3 – 8
= 43 + 9 × 2 – 8
= 43 + 18 – 8
= 53 ≠ 50

Here, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
