Correct Answer: × and –, 15 and 10
Solution : Given: 25 – 10 ÷ 5 + 15 × 30 = 55
Let's check the options – First option : × and ÷, 30 and 25 ⇒ 30 – 10 × 5 + 15 ÷ 25 = 55 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 30 – 10 × 5 + 0.6 = 30 – 50 + 0.6 = 30.6 – 50 = –19.4 ≠ 55 Second option: ÷ and +, 15 and 10 ⇒ 25 – 15 + 5 ÷ 10 × 30 = 55 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 25 – 15 + 0.5 × 30 = 25 – 15 + 15 = 40 – 15 = 25 ≠ 55 Third option: × and –, 15 and 10 ⇒ 25 × 15 ÷ 5 + 10 – 30 = 55 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 25 × 3 + 10 – 30 = 75 + 10 – 30 = 85 – 30 = 55 = R.H.S. Fourth option: + and –, 5 and 10 ⇒ 25 + 5 ÷ 10 – 15 × 30 = 55 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 25 + 0.5 – 15 × 30 = 25 + 0.5 – 450 = 25.5 – 450 = –424.5 ≠ 55
So, only the third option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
