Correct Answer: ÷ and ×
Solution : Given: 95 × 5 + 19 ÷ 2 − 21 = 36
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: ÷ and × ⇒ 95 ÷ 5 + 19 × 2 − 21 = 19 + 38 − 21 = 36 Second option: + and − ⇒ 95 × 5 − 19 ÷ 2 + 21 = 475 − 9.5 + 21 = 486.5 ≠ 36 Third option: ÷ and − ⇒ 95 × 5 + 19 − 2 ÷ 21 = 475 + 19 − 0.09 = 493.91 ≠ 36 Fourth option: + and × ⇒ 95 + 5 × 19 ÷ 2 − 21 = 95 + 47.5 − 21 = 121.5 ≠ 36
Here, only the first option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
