Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. -, +, ×, ÷, ×, ×, =.
Given statement: 12 * 8 * 3 * 2 * 5 * 1 * 5 * 10
According to the question, after replacing the * signs:
12 - 8 + 3 × (2 ÷ 5) × 1 × 5 = 10
⇒ 12 - 8 + (3 × 0.4 × 1 × 5) = 10
⇒ (12 + 6) - 8 = 10
⇒ 18 - 8 = 10
⇒ 10 = 10
