Correct Answer: ×, ÷, –, +
Solution : Given: 16 * 3 * 2 * 11 * 9 = 22
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using the BODMAS. Let's check the given options – First option: ×, ÷, +, – ⇒ 16 × 3 ÷ 2 + 11 – 9 = 22 Solving the L.H.S of the equation – = 16 × 3 ÷ 2 + 11 – 9 = 16 × 1.5 + 11 – 9 = 24 + 11 – 9 = 35 – 9 = 26 ≠ 22 Second option: ×, ÷, −, + ⇒ 16 × 3 ÷ 2 − 11 + 9 = 22 Solving the L.H.S of the equation – = 16 × 3 ÷ 2 − 11 + 9 = 16 × 1.5 − 11 + 9 = 24 − 11 + 9 = 24 − 2 = 22 = 22 (R.H.S) Third option: ÷, ×, +, + ⇒ 16 ÷ 3 × 2 + 11 + 9 = 22 Solving the L.H.S of the equation – = 16 ÷ 3 × 2 + 11 + 9 = 5.33 × 2 + 11 + 9 = 10.66 + 11 + 9 = 21.66 + 9 = 30.66 ≠ 22 Fourth option: ÷, +, ×, ÷ ⇒ 16 ÷ 3 + 2 × 11 ÷ 9 = 22 Solving the L.H.S of the equation – = 16 ÷ 3 + 2 × 11 ÷ 9 = 5.33 + 2 × 1.23 = 5.33 + 2.45 = 7.78 ≠ 22 (R.H.S)
So, only the second option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
