Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. +, ×, =, +, ÷, +
Given equation: 355 * (12 * 3) * 289 * (186 * 6) * 71
Option 1: +, ×, =, +, ÷, +
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 355 + (12 × 3) = 289 + (186 ÷ 6) + 71
= 355 + 36 = 289 + 31 + 71
= 391 is equal to 391.
As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.
Hence, +, ×, =, +, ÷, + is the correct answer.
