Correct Answer: ÷ and +
Solution : Given: 81 + 3 ÷ 9 * 5 − 12 = 60
Replace the given signs in the options one by one with the original signs in the given equation. First option: ÷ and + = 81 ÷ 3 + 9 × 5 – 12 = 27 + 9 × 5 – 12 = 27 + 45 – 12 = 60 Second option: + and × = 81 × 3 ÷ 9 + 5 − 12 = 27 + 15 − 12 = 30 ≠ 60 Third option: ÷ and − = 81 + 3 – 9 × 5 ÷ 12 = 60 = 81 + 3 – 9 × 0.416 = 81 + 3 – 3.75 = 80.25 ≠ 60 Fourth option: + and − = 81 – 3 ÷ 9 × 5 + 12 = 81 – 0.33 × 5 + 12 = 81 – 1.66 + 12 = 91.33 = R.H.S.
So, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
