A.

+,×,,÷,=+, \times, -, \div, =​​

B.

+,×,,=,÷+, \times, -, =, \div​​

C.

+,,×,÷,=+, -, \times, \div, =​​

D.

÷,,×,+,=\div, -, \times, +, =​​

Correct option is D

Given: 12*6*3*2*8*4​​
Replace the * sign in the given equation with the mathematical signs and then solve the equation using the BODMAS rule.

Option (a): +,×,,÷,=+, \times, -, \div, =
12 + 6 ×\times 3 - 2 ÷\div 8 = 4
12 + 6 ×\times 3 - 0.25 = 4
12 + 18 - 0.25 = 4
30 - 0.25 = 4
29.75 \neq 4 (This option does not satisfy the equation)​
Option (b): +,×,,=,÷+, \times, -, =, \div
12 + 6 ×\times 3 - 2 = 8 ÷\div 4
12 + 6 ×\times 3 - 2 = 2
12 + 18 - 2 = 2
30 - 2 = 2
28 \neq 2 (This option does not satisfy the equation)​​
Option (c): +,,×,÷,=+, -, \times, \div, =
12 + 6 - 3 ×\times 2 ÷\div 8 = 4
12 + 6 - 3 ×\times 0.25 = 4
12 + 6 - 0.75 = 4
18 - 0.75 = 4
17.25 \neq 4 (This option does not satisfy the equation)​​
Option (d): ÷,,×,+,=\div, -, \times, +, =
12 ÷\div 6 - 3 ×\times 2 + 8 = 4
- 3 ×\times 2 + 8 = 4
- 6 + 8 = 4
10 - 6 = 4
4 = 4 (This option satisfies the equation)
Thus, only option (d) satisfies the equation.
So, the correct answer is option (d).
