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 + (Not Follow)
New equation: 24 ÷ 2 = 20 - 4 + 6 × 8
12 = 20 - 4 + 6 × 8
12 = 20 - 4 + 48
12 \neq​ 64
Option (b): = and + (Follow)
New equation: 24 ÷ 2 + 20 - 4 × 6 = 8
12 + 20 - 4 × 6 = 8
12 + 20 - 24 = 8
32 - 24 = 8
8 = 8
Option (c): - and + (Not Follow) 
New equation: 24 ÷ 2 = 20 + 4 × 6 - 8
12 = 20 + 4 × 6 - 8
12 = 20 + 24 - 8
12 \neq 36​
Option (d): ÷ and × (Not Follow)
New equation: 24 × 2 = 20 - 4 ÷ 6 + 8
48 = 16 ÷ 6 + 8
48 = 24 ÷ 6
48 \neq​ 4
Thus, correct option is (b).
