Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace ‘*’ signs and to balance the given equation:

96 * 2 * 20 * 2 * 174

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. × - + =.

Understanding

Given Equation: 96 * 2 * 20 * 2 * 174

Check all the options:

Option 1: × - + =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  96 × 2 - 20 + 2

=  174 is equal to 174.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Option 2: ÷ × + =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  96 ÷ 2 × 20 + 2

= 962 is not equal to 174.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: - + × =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  96 - 2 + 20 × 2

=  134 is not equal to 174.

Hence, option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4: + + ÷ =

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 96 + 2 + 20 ÷ 2

= 108 is not equal to 174.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
