Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
86 * 54 * 34 * 68 * 2 * 33

Correct option is A

Given: 86 * 54 * 34 * 68 * 2 * 33

Option (a): -,+,÷,×,=

86 - 54 + 34 ÷ 68 × 2 = 33

Explanation:

Following the BODMAS rule (Bracket, Orders (i.e. powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction):

1. Division (÷): 86 - 54 + o.5 × 2

2. Multiplication (×): 86 - 54 + 1

3. Addition (+): 87 – 54

4. Subtraction (-): 33 = 33

Option (b): ÷,-,+,×,=

86 ÷ 54 - 34 + 68 × 2 = 33

Explanation:

Following the BODMAS rule (Bracket, Orders (i.e. powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction):

1. Division (÷): 1.6 - 34 + 68 × 2

2. Multiplication (×): 1.6 - 34 + 136

3. Addition (+): 137.6 - 34

4. Subtraction (-): 103.6 ≠ 33

Option (c): ×,÷,×,-,=

86 × 54 ÷ 34 × 68 - 2 = 33

Explanation:

Following the BODMAS rule (Bracket, Orders (i.e. powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction):

1. Division (÷): 186 × 1.58 × 68 - 2

2. Multiplication (×): 19983.84 - 2

3. Subtraction (-): 19981.84 - ≠ 33

Option (d): +,÷,×,-,=

86 + 54 ÷ 34 × 68 - 2 = 33

Explanation:

Following the BODMAS rule (Bracket, Orders (i.e. powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction):

1. Division (÷): 86 + 1.58 × 68 - 2

2. Multiplication (×): 86 + 1.58 × 68 - 2

3. Addition (+): 193.44 - 2

4. Subtraction (-): 191.44 ≠ 33

Correct answer is (A) -,+,÷,×,=
