Back to paper

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the following equation.
86 * (5 * 8 * 4) * 9 * 85

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e. −, ×, ÷, +, =.

Understanding

The t expression is 86 * (5 * 8 * 4) * 9 * 85

Option 1) −, ×, ÷, +, = 

⇒ 86 − (5 × 8 ÷ 4) + 9 = 85 (Putting sign)

⇒ 86 − (5 × 2) + 9 = 85

⇒ 86 − (10) + 9 = 85

⇒ 95 − 10 = 85 (Satisfied)

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
