Correct Answer: ÷, −, =, −, ×


Solution : Given:
(440 * 11) * 85 * 57 * (34 * 3)

Let's check the given options –
First option: +, −, =, ÷, +
⇒ (440 + 11) − 85 = 57 ÷ (34 + 3)
L.H.S. = 451 − 85 = 366
R.H.S. = 57 ÷ 37 = 1.54
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Second option: ×, =, −, ÷, +
⇒ (440 × 11) = 85 − 57 ÷ (34 + 3)
L.H.S. = (440 × 11) = 4840
R.H.S. = 85 − 57 ÷ 37 = 85 − 1.54 = 83.46
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Third option: +, ×, =, ÷, +
⇒ (440 + 11) × 85 = 57 ÷ (34 + 3)
L.H.S. = 451 × 85 = 38335
R.H.S. = 57 ÷ 37 = 1.54
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Fourth option: ÷, −, =, −, ×
⇒ (440 ÷ 11) − 85 = 57 − (34 × 3)
L.H.S. = 40 − 85 = –45
R.H.S. = ​​​57 − 102 = –45
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

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