Correct Answer: + and –


Solution : Given:
85 – 28 × 3 + 114 ÷ 6 = 150

Let's check each option –
First option: + and ×
85 – 28 + 3 × 114 ÷ 6 = 150
= 85 – 28 + 3 × 19
= 85 – 28 + 57
114 ≠ 150
Second option: – and ÷
85 ÷ 28 × 3 + 114 – 6 = 150
= 3.035 × 3 + 114 – 6
= 9.105 + 114 – 6
117.105 ≠ 150
Third option: ÷ and ×
85 – 28 ÷ 3 + 114 × 6 = 150
= 85 – 9.3 + 114 × 6
= 85 – 9.3 + 684
759.7 ≠ 150
Fourth option: + and –
85 + 28 × 3 – 114 ÷ 6 = 150
= 85 + 28 × 3 – 19
= 85 + 84 – 19
= 150

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