Correct Answer: ÷ and +
Solution : Given: 459 + 17 × 12 ÷ 72 – 47 = 349
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: ÷ and + ⇒ 459 ÷ 17 × 12 + 72– 47 = 349 = 27 × 12 + 72 – 47 = 324 + 72 – 47 = 349 Second option: ÷ and – ⇒ 459 + 17 × 12 – 72 ÷ 47 = 349 = 459 + 17 × 12 – 1.53 = 459 + 204 – 1.53 = 661.47 ≠ 349 Third option: + and × ⇒ 459 × 17 + 12 ÷ 72 – 47 = 349 = 459 × 17 + 0.167 – 47 = 7803 + 0.167 – 47 = 7756.167 ≠ 349 Fourth option: – and + ⇒ 459 – 17 × 12 ÷ 72 + 47 = 349 = 459 – 17 × 0.167 + 47 = 459 – 2.839 + 47 = 503.161 ≠ 349
So, only the first option satisfies the equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
