Explanation:
Check option A, +, ×, −, ÷
Given:
26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
After interchanging,
26 + 52 × 38 - 57 ÷ 23 = 53
Here, 57 is perfectly not divisible by 23.
​So, its not correct option.
Check option B, ÷, ×, +, −
Given:
26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
After interchanging,
26 ÷ 52 × 38 + 57 - 23 = 53
Or, 19 + 34 = 53
Or, 53=53
So, its correct option.
Check option C, ×, ÷, +, −
Given:
26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
After interchanging,
26 × 52 ÷ 38 + 57 - 23 = 53
Here, 52 is perfectly not divisible by 38.
​So, its not correct option.
Check option D, −, ×, ÷, −
Given:
26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
After interchanging,
26 - 52 × 38 ÷ 57 - 23 = 53
Here, 38 is perfectly not divisible by 57.
​So, its not correct option.
Thus, option B is correct.​​
