    Question

    Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
    12*6*3*2*8*4

    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).
