Select the combination of symbols that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given equation will complete the equation.
9 _ 3 _ 0 _ 8 _ 2 = 23

Given: 9 _ 3 _ 0 _ 8 _ 2 = 23

Logic: Fill the symbols in the given blanks of the equation and then solve the equation using the BODMAS rule.

​$$\begin{array}{ | c | c | } \hline \textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline Brackets &[], {}, () \\ \hline Orders, of & (power), √ (root), of \\ \hline Division & ÷ \\ \hline Multiplication & × \\ \hline Addition & + \\ \hline Subtraction & - \\ \hline \end{array}$$​​​

Let's check the options:

First option: ​​$$\div$$, +, -, $$\times$$

The equation becomes, 9 $$\div$$ 3 + 0 - 8 $$\times$$ 2 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 3 + 0 - 8 $$\times$$ 2 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 3 + 0 - 16 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 3 - 16 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ -13 $$\neq$$ 23 (This option does not satisfy the equation.)

Second option: $$\times$$, +, -, $$\div$$

The equation becomes, 9 $$\times$$ 3 + 0 - 8 $$\div$$ 2 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 9 ​$$\times$$ 3 + 0 - 4 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 27 + 0 - 4 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 23 = 23 (This option satisfies the equation.)

Third option: -, +, $$\times$$, $$\div$$

The equation becomes, 9 - 3 + 0 $$\times$$ 8 $$\div$$ 2 = 23​

$$\Rightarrow$$ 9 - 3 + 0 $$\times$$​ 4 = 23

​$$\Rightarrow$$ 9 - 3 + 0 = 23

​$$\Rightarrow$$ 6 $$\neq$$ 23 (This option does not satisfy the equation.)

Fourth option: +, -, $$\times$$, $$\div$$

The equation becomes, 9 + 3 - 0 $$\times$$ 8 $$\div$$ 2 = 23

$$\Rightarrow$$ 9 + 3 - 0 $$\times$$​ 4 = 23

​$$\Rightarrow$$ 9 + 3 - 0 = 23

​$$\Rightarrow$$ 12 $$\neq$$​ 23 (This option does not satisfy the equation.)

So, the correct answer is (b).
