Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: ÷ and + = 22 – 16 + (3 × 4) ÷ 6 = 6 + 12 ÷ 6 = 8 Second option: – and × = 22 × 16 ÷ (3 – 4) + 6 = –352 + 6 = –346 ≠ 8 Third option: – and + = 22 + 16 ÷ (3 × 4) – 6 = 22 + 16 ÷ 12 – 6 = 22 + 1.34 – 6 = 17.34 ≠ 8 Fourth option: ÷ and × = 22 – 16 × (3 ÷ 4) + 6 = 22 – 16 × 0.75 + 6 = 22 – 12 + 6 = 16 ≠ 8
Here, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct
