Correct Answer: ÷, =, –, ×, +


Solution : Given:
52 * 4 * 38 * 5 * 5 * 0

Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using the BODMAS.
Let's check the given options –
First option: ×, ×, +, =, ×
⇒ 52 × 4 × 38 + 5 = 5 × 0
Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation –
⇒ 7904 + 5 = 0
⇒ 7909 ≠ 0
Second option: ÷, =, –, ×, +
⇒ 52 ÷ 4 = 38 – 5 × 5 + 0
Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation –
⇒ 13 = 38 – 25
⇒ 13 = 13
Third option: ×, +, ÷, =, –
⇒ 52 × 4 + 38 ÷ 5 = 5 – 0
Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation –
⇒ 52 × 4 + 7.6 = 5 – 0
⇒ 208 + 7.6 = 5
⇒ 215.6 ≠ 5
Fourth option: ÷, =, –, ÷, ×
⇒ 52 ÷ 4 = 38 – 5 ÷ 5 × 0
Solving the L.H.S. and R.H.S. of the equation –
⇒ 13 = 38 – 1
⇒ 13 ≠ 37

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