Correct Answer: ×, +, ÷, –, =


Solution : Given:
30 * 3 * 16 * 4 * 24 * 70

Let's check each option –
First Option: ×, ÷, +, –, =
30 × 3 ÷ 16 + 4 – 24 = 70
Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 30 × 0.1875 + 4 – 24
= 5.625 + 4 – 24
= –14.375 ≠ 70
Second Option: ÷, ×, –, +, =
30 ÷ 3 × 16 – 4 + 24 = 70
Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 10 × 16 – 4 + 24
= 160 – 4 + 24
= 180 ≠ 70
Third Option: ×, +, ÷, –, =
30 × 3 + 16 ÷ 4 – 24 = 70
Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 30 × 3 + 4 – 24
= 90 + 4 – 24
= 70
Fourth Option: +, ×, –, ÷, =
30 + 3 × 16 – 4 ÷ 24 = 70
Solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 30 + 3 × 16 – 0.167
= 30 + 48 – 0.167
= 77.833 ≠ 70

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