Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the following equation. 12 * 3 * 4 = 6 * 8 * 8
Option 1: +, ×, –, ×
Option 2: ×, +, –, ×
Option 3: ×, +, ×, –
Option 4: ×, –, ×, +
Correct Answer: ×, +, ×, –
Solution : Given: 12 * 3 * 4 = 6 * 8 * 8
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations using the BODMAS rule. Let's check the given options – First option: +, ×, –, × Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation – L.H.S. = 12 + 3 × 4 = 24 R.H.S. = 6 – 8 × 8 = – 58 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Second option: ×, +, –, × Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation – L.H.S. = 12 × 3 + 4 = 40 R.H.S. = 6 – 8 × 8 = – 58 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Third option: ×, +, ×, – Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation – L.H.S. = 12 × 3 + 4 = 40 R.H.S. = 6 × 8 – 8 = 40 L.H.S. = R.H.S. Fourth option: ×, –, ×, + Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation – L.H.S. = 12 × 3 – 4 = 32 R.H.S. = 6 × 8 + 8 = 56 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
So only the third option satisfies the equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
