Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
256 * 4 * 9 * 3 * 14 = 51
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ÷ − × +.
Given equation: 256 * 4 * 9 * 3 * 14 = 51
Option 1: ÷ − × +
After interchanging the expression becomes:
⇒ (256 ÷ 4) − 9 × 3 + 14 = 51
⇒ 64 − (9 × 3) + 14 = 51
⇒ (64 + 14) − 27 = 51
⇒ 51 = 51
