SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 99

SSC CGL - 18 July 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q99

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.

55 * 63 * 9 * 8 * 3 = 38

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. + ÷\div -- x.

Given series: 55 * 63 * 9 * 8 * 3 = 38

This equation becomes true only when we put the set of signs given in option 4.

⇒ 55 + 63 ÷ 9 -- 8 x 3 = 38 (Using BODMAS)

    55 + 7 -- 24

    62 -- 24 = 38.

Hence,    option 4 i.e. +  ÷ -- x is the correct answer.
