Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the signs and balance the given equation.
96 * 3 * 7 * 4 * 11 = 15
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. + - x +.
Given statement : 96 * 3 * 7 * 4 * 11 = 15
According to the question, after replacing the * signs :
From option 4);
⇒ 96 ÷ 3 - 7 × 4 + 11 = 15
Using the BODMAS rule we get,
⇒ (96 ÷ 3) - 7 × 4 + 11 = 15
⇒ 32 - (7 × 4) + 11 = 15
⇒ 32 + 11 - 28 = 15
⇒ 43 - 28 = 15
⇒ 15 = 15
(LHS = RHS)
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
