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

512 * 32 * 9 * 100 * 6 * 25 * 2

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ÷, ×, −, +, =, ×.

Given equation: 512 * 32 * 9 * 100 * 6 * 25 * 2

Let us check all the options:

Option 1: ÷, ×, +, =, −, ×

The expression becomes:

= 512 ÷ 32 × 9 + 100 = 6 - 25 × 2

= 244 is not equal to -44.

Option 2: ÷, ×, +, −, =, ×

= 512 ÷ 32 × 9 + 100 - 6 = 25 × 2

= 238 is equal to 50.

Option 3: ÷, ×, −, +, =, ×

= 512 ÷ 32 × 9 - 100 + 6 = 25 × 2

= 50 is not equal to 50.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
