Given:  24 + 3 × 4 – 30 ÷ 10 = 12
Logic: BODMAS
Checking Each Option:
Option (A) ÷ and ×
Equation after interchanging ÷ and ×:
24+3÷4−30×10 =12
24+0.7−30×10 =12
24+0.7−300 \ne12 (Incorrect) 
Option (B) + and ÷ 
Equation after interchanging + and ÷:
24÷3×4−30+10 = 12
8×4−30+10 = 12
32−30+10 = 12
42- 30 = 12
12 = 12 (Correct)
Option (C) ÷ and –
Equation after interchanging ÷ and –:
24+3×4÷30−10 = 12 
24+3×4÷30−10 = 12
24 + 410\frac{4}{10}​ - 10 =12
24.4 -10 =12
14.4 \ne 12  (Incorrect) 
Option (D) + and – 
Equation after interchanging + and –:
24−3×4+30÷10 =12
24−3×4+3 =12
24−12+3 =12
27 - 12 =12
15 \ne 12 (Incorrect) 
Thus, The Correct Option is (b) + and ÷.
