Understanding

Given: 26 A 2 A 3 A 3 A 13

Let us see all the options:

The equation becomes:

26 × 2 = 3 - 3 ÷ 13

⇒ 52 = 2.77 (Not true)

2) ÷, ×, =, -

The equation becomes:

26 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 -13

⇒ 39 = -10 (Not true)

3) ×, ÷, +, =

The equation becomes:

26 × 2 ÷ 3 + 3 = 13

⇒ 20.33 = 13 (Not true)

4) ÷, ×, =, ×

The equation becomes:

26 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 × 13

⇒ 39 = 39 (True)
