Correct Answer: +, × and =


Solution : Given:
12 _4 _ 3 _ 24

Let's check the given options –
First option: ÷, × and =
⇒ 12 ÷ 4 × 3 = 24
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
= 3 × 3
= 9 ≠ 24
Second option: ×, ÷ and =
⇒ 12 × 4 ÷ 3 = 24
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
= 12 × 1.34
= 16 ≠ 24
Third option: +, × and =
⇒ 12 + 4 × 3 = 24
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
= 12 + 12
= 24
Fourth option: ÷, =, and ×
⇒ 12 ÷ 4 = 3 × 24
Solving the L.H.S and R.H.S of the equation –
⇒ 3 ≠ 72

So, only the third option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
