Correct Answer: 5 > 2 × 1 – 3 > 4 < 1
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 5 ÷ 2 × 1 = 3 + 4 > 1 On replacing with symbols as directed, we get – 5 > 2 + 1 < 3 ÷ 4 × 1 5 > 3 < 0.75 (Since 3 is greater than 0.75, the equation is not satisfied.) Second option: 5 > 2 × 1 – 3 > 4 < 1 On replacing with symbols as directed, we get – 5 × 2 + 1 = 3 × 4 – 1 L.H.S.→5 × 2 + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 R.H.S.→3 × 4 – 1 = 12 – 1 = 11 L.H.S. = R.H.S. Third option: 5 × 2 < 1 – 3 < 4 × 1 On replacing with symbols as directed, we get – 5 + 2 – 1 = 3 – 4 + 1 L.H.S.→5 + 2 – 1 = 7 – 1 = 6 R.H.S.→3 – 4 + 1 = 0 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Fourth option: 5 < 2 × 1 ÷ 3 > 4 × 1 On replacing with symbols as directed, we get – 5 – 2 + 1 > 3 × 4 + 1 L.H.S.→5 – 2 + 1 = 4 R.H.S.→3 × 4 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 Since L.H.S. is not greater than R.H.S., the equation is not satisfied.
Hence, the second option is correct.
