Correct Answer: ÷ and +
Solution : Given: 24 ÷ 15 × 16 + 4 – 18 = 66
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: ÷ and × Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 24 × 15 ÷ 16 + 4 – 18 = 22.5 – 14 = 8.5 ≠ 66 Second option: – and + Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 24 ÷ 15 × 16 – 4 + 18 = 1.6 × 16 – 4 + 18 = 25.6 + 14 = 39.6 ≠ 66 Third option: – and × Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 24 ÷ 15 – 16 + 4 × 18 = 1.6 – 16 + 72 = 57.6 ≠ 66 Fourth option: ÷ and + Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 24 + 15 × 16 ÷ 4 – 18 = 24 + 15 × 4 – 18 = 24 + 60 – 18 = 66 = R.H.S.
So, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
