Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. =, –, +, ÷, ×.

Given equation: 88 * 120 * 42 * 240 * 48 * 2

Option 4: =, –, +, ÷, ×

The expression becomes:

⇒ 88 = 120 - 42 + (240 ÷ 48) × 2

⇒ 88 = 120 - 42 + (5 × 2)

⇒ 88 = 120 - 42 + 10 

⇒ 88 = 120 - 42 + 10 

⇒ 88 = 88
