    Given: 9 ÷ 3 + 6 – 6 × 2 = 30
    Used BODMAS rule.
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders, of(power),(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline\textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline\text{Brackets} &[],{}, () \\ \hline \text{Orders, of} & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline \text{Division}& ÷ \\ \hline \text{Multiplication} & × \\ \hline \text{Addition} & + \\ \hline \text{Subtraction} & - \\\hline\end{array}
    Now, we check each options.
    Option (a): + and ÷
    New equation: 9 + 3 ÷ 6 – 6 × 2 = 30
    12 ÷ 6 - 6 × 2 = 30
    2 - 6 × 2 = 30
    - 10 \neq 30​
    Option (b): × and ÷
    New equation: 9 × 3 + 6 – 6 ÷ 2 = 30
    9 × 3 + 6 - 3 = 30
    27 + 6 - 3 = 30
    33 - 3 = 30
    30 = 30
    Option (c): + and -
    New equation: 9 ÷ 3 - 6 + 6 × 2 = 30
    3 - 6 + 6 × 2 = 30
    3 - 6 + 12 = 30
    \neq 30​
    Option (d): × and +
    New equation: 9 ÷ 3 × 6 – 6 + 2 = 30
    3 × 6 - 6 + 2 = 30
    18 - 6 + 2 = 30
    14 \neq 30​
    Thus, correct option is (b).
