Check option A,+ and −
Given:
156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74

156 ÷ 12 + 4 × 65 - 87 = 74
13 + 260 - 87 = 74
186≠74
So, its not correct option.
Check option B, = and ×
Given:
156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
After interchanging,
156 ÷ 12 − 4 = 65 + 87 × 74
13 − 4 = 65 + 6438
9≠6503
So, its not correct option.
Check option C,× and −
Given:
156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
After interchanging,
156 ÷ 12 × 4 - 65 + 87 = 74
13 × 4 - 65 + 87 = 74
52 - 65 + 87 = 74
74=74
So, its correct option.
Check option D,+ and =
Given:
156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
After interchanging,
156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 = 87 + 74
