60 * 2 * 3 * 6 * 5 * 43

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ÷, +, ×, -, =.

Given equation: 60 * 2 * 3 * 6 * 5 * 43

Let us check all the options:

1) ÷, ×, +, -, =

The expression becomes:

=60 ÷ 2 × 3 + 6 - 5 = 43

= 91 is not equal to -43.

2) +, ÷, ×, =, -

The expression becomes:

= 60 + 2 ÷ 3 × 6 = 5 - 43

= 64 is not equal to -38.

3) ÷, +, ×, =, -

The expression becomes:

= 60 ÷ 2 + 3 × 6 = 5 - 43

= 48 is not equal to -38

4) ÷, +, ×, -, =

The expression becomes:

= 60 ÷ 2 + 3 × 6 - 5 = 43

= 43 is equal to 43

Hence, the correct answer is ÷, +, ×, -, =.
