Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. +, −, +, ÷, =.
Given equation: 213 * 67 * 119 * (248 * 31) * 169
Option 1: +, −, +, ÷, =
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 213 + 67 - 119 + (248 ÷ 31) = 169
= 213 + 67 - 119 + 8
= 169 is equal to 169.
As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
