Correct Answer: × and ÷


Solution : Given:
13 + 26 × 2 – 5 ÷ 4 = 6

Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation.
First option: ÷ and +
= 13 ÷ 26 × 2 – 5 + 4
= 1 – 5 + 4
= 0 ≠ 6
Second option: + and –
= 13 – 26 × 2 + 5 ÷ 4
= 13 – 52 + 1.25
= –37.75 ≠ 6
Third option: × and –
= 13 + 26 – 2 × 5 ÷ 4
= 39 – 2.50
= 36.50 ≠ 6
Fourth option: × and ÷
= ​​​​​​​13 + 26 ÷ 2 – 5 × 4
= 13 + 13 – 20
= 6 = R.H.S.

So, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
