Correct Answer: 8, 5 and −, ×
Solution : Given: 5 + 44 − 8 × 25 = 203
Replace the given signs and numbers in the options one by one with the original signs and numbers in the given equation. First option: 8, 5 and −, + = 8 − 44 + 5 × 25 = 203 = 8 − 44 + 125 = 89 ≠ 203 Second option: 8, 44 and −, + = 5 − 8 + 44 × 25 = 203 = 5 − 8 + 1100 = 1097 ≠ 203 Third option: 8, 5 and −, × = 8 + 44 × 5 − 25 = 203 = 8 + 220 − 25 = 228 − 25 = 203 = R.H.S. Fourth option: 8, 44 and −, × = 5 + 8 × 44 − 25 = 203 = 5 + 352 − 25 = 332 ≠ 203
So, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
