Solution : Given: 50 – 25 ÷ 5 × 3 + 6 = 59
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. Let's check the options – First option: + and × = 50 – 25 ÷ 5 + 3 × 6 = 50 – 5 + 3 × 6 = 50 – 5 + 18 = 63 ≠ 59 Second option: ÷ and + = 50 – 25 + 5 × 3 ÷ 6 = 50 – 25 + 2.5 = 27.5 ≠ 59 Third option: × and – = 50 × 25 ÷ 5 – 3 + 6 = 50 × 5 – 3 + 6 = 250 – 3 + 6 = 253 ≠ 59 Fourth option: – and + = 50 + 25 ÷ 5 × 3 – 6 = 50 + 5 × 3 – 6 = 50 + 15 – 6 = 59
So, only the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
