Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ×, −, ÷, +.

Understanding

Given equation: 14 * 11 * 552 * 23 * 29 = 159

Let us check all the options:

1) ×, −, ÷, +

The expression becomes:

= 14 × 11 - 552 ÷ 23 + 29

= 14 × 11 - 24 + 29

= 154 - 24 + 29

= 159

As we have found our answer, we need not to check the other options.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
