    Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
    14 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 2 = 47

    A.

    × ÷ + -

    B.

    × ÷ +

    C.

    + - × ÷

    D.

    ÷ - + ×

    Correct option is A

    Concept: interchange mathematical operators and solve as per BODMAS rule.
    Explanation:
    Check option A, ​× ÷ + -​
    Given:
    14 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 2 = 47
    After interchanging,
    14 × 15 ÷ 5 + 7 - 2 = 47
    Or, 14 × 3 + 5 = 47
    Or, 42+5=47
    Or, 47=47
    So, its correct option.
    Check option B, - × ÷+
    Given:
    14 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 2 = 47
    After interchanging,
    14 - 15 × 5 ÷ 7 + 2 = 47
    Here 5 is perfectly not divisible by 7. so, it will result in decimal.
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option C, + - × ÷
    Given:
    14 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 2 = 47
    After interchanging,
    14 + 15 - 5 × 7 ÷ 2 = 47
    Here 7 is perfectly not divisible by 2. So, it will result in decimal.
    ​So, its not correct option.
    Check option D, ÷ - + ×
    Given:
    14 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 2 = 47
    After interchanging,
    14 ÷ 15 - 5 + 7 × 2 = 47
    Here 14 is perfectly not divisible by 15. So, it will result in decimal.
    So, its not correct option.
    Thus, option A is correct.
