Choose one of the following correct combinations of mathematical signs which can be filled to balance the following equation.
86 * 42 * 12 * 3 * 12 * 3 * 4
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ̶ , ̶ , ÷, =, ×, +.
Given Equation: 86 * 42 * 12 * 3 * 12 * 3 * 4
After applying the signs given in Option 2 the equation becomes:
86 - 42 - 12 ÷ 3 = 12 × 3 + 4
86 - 42 - 4 = 36 + 4
86 - 46 = 40
40 = 40
Therefore , LHS = RHS
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
