    Check option A,​​​+ and −​
    Given:
    87 × 2 − 80 ÷ 8 + 160 = 4
    After interchanging,
    87 × 2 + 80 ÷ 8 - 160 = 4
    174 + 10 - 160 = 4
    24≠4
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option B, ​​​​+ and =​
    Given:
    87 × 2 − 80 ÷ 8 + 160 = 4
    After interchanging,
    87 × 2 − 80 ÷ 8 = 160 + 4
    174 − 10 = 164
    164=164
    So, its correct option.
    Check option C,​​​+ and ×​
    Given:
    87 × 2 − 80 ÷ 8 + 160 = 4
    After interchanging,
    87 + 2 − 80 ÷ 8 × 160 = 4
    89 − 10 × 160 = 4
    89 − 1600 = 4
    -1511≠4
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option D, ​​+ and ÷​
    Given:
    87 × 2 − 80 ÷ 8 + 160 = 4
    After interchanging,
    87 × 2 − 80 + 8 ÷ 160 = 4
    Here, 8 is perfectly not divisible by 160.
    So, its not correct option.
    Thus, correct option is (b).
