Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation. 42 * 7 * 3 * 2 * 13 * 7
Option 1: ÷, ×, −, =, ×
Option 2: +, =, ÷, ×, +
Option 3: ÷, ×, =, +, +
Option 4: ÷, ×, +, =, +
Correct Answer: ÷, ×, +, =, +
Solution : Given: 42 * 7 * 3 * 2 * 13 * 7
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using BODMAS. First option: ÷, ×, −, =, × 42 ÷ 7 × 3 − 2 = 13 × 7 L.H.S. = 42 ÷ 7 × 3 − 2 = 6 × 3 − 2 = 18 − 2 = 16 R.H.S. = 13 × 7 = 91 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Second option: +, =, ÷, ×, + 42 + 7 = 3 ÷ 2 × 13 + 7 L.H.S. = 42 + 7 = 49 R.H.S. = 3 ÷ 2 × 13 + 7 = 1.5 × 13 + 7 = 19.5 + 7 = 26.5 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Third option: ÷, ×, =, +, + 42 ÷ 7 × 3 = 2 + 13 + 7 L.H.S. = 42 ÷ 7 × 3 = 6 × 3 = 18 R.H.S. = 2 + 13 + 7 = 22 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Fourth option: ÷, ×, +, =, + 42 ÷ 7 × 3 + 2 = 13 + 7 L.H.S. = 42 ÷ 7 × 3 + 2 = 6 × 3 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 R.H.S. = 13 + 7 = 20 L.H.S. = R.H.S.
So, the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
