Correct Answer: ×, +, –, ÷


Solution : Given:
5....3....8....4....2 = 21

Let's check the options –
First option: +, ×, +, ÷
⇒ 5 + 3 × 8 + 4 ÷ 2 = 21
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation, we get –
= 5 + 3 × 8 + 2
= 5 + 24 + 2
= 31 ≠ 21
Second option: ×, +, –, ÷
⇒ 5 × 3 + 8 – 4 ÷ 2 = 21
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation, we get –
= 5 × 3 + 8 – 2
= 15 + 8 – 2
= 23 – 2
= 21
Third option: –, ×, +, ÷
⇒ ​​​​​​​5 – 3 × 8 + 4 ÷ 2 = 21
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation, we get –
= ​​​​​​​5 – 3 × 8 + 2
= ​​​​​​​5 – 24 + 2
= ​​​​​​​–17 ≠ 21
Fourth option: +, ×, –, ÷
​​​​​​​⇒ 5 + 3 × 8 – 4 ÷ 2 = 21
On solving the L.H.S. of the equation, we get –
= ​​​​​​​5 + 3 × 8 – 2
= ​​​​​​​5 + 24 – 2
= 27 ≠ 21

Hence, the second option is correct.
