Correct Answer: +, ×, ÷, =


Solution : Given:
50 * 25 * 10 * 2 * 175

Replacing the given symbols in the equations –
First option: +, ÷, x, =
⇒ 50 + 25 ÷ 10 x 2 = 175
⇒50 + 2.5 x 2 = 175
⇒50 + 5 = 175
⇒55 = 175
⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
Second option: –, x, ÷, =
⇒ 50 – 25 x 10 ÷ 2 = 175
⇒ 50 – 25 x 5 = 175
⇒ 50 – 125 = 175
⇒ – 75 = 175
⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
Third option: –, x, +, =
⇒ 50 – 25 x 10 + 2 = 175
⇒ 50 – 250 + 2 = 175
⇒ 50 – 248 = 175
⇒ – 198 = 175
⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
Fourth option: +, x, ÷, =
⇒ 50 + 25 x 10 ÷ 2 = 175
⇒ 50 + 25 x 5 = 175
⇒ 50 + 125 = 175
⇒ 175 = 175
⇒ L.H.S = R.H.S

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