Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.
230 * 1 * 5 * 16 * 41 * 21
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ×, ÷, +, –, = .
The given equation: 230 * 1 * 5 * 16 * 41 * 21
Applying the signs to the equation and checking all the options one by one,
1. ×, ÷, +, –, =
230 × 1 ÷ 5 + 16 – 41 = 21
⇒ 230 × 1 ÷ 5 + 16 – 41 = 21
⇒ 230 × 0.2 + 16 – 41 = 21
⇒ 46 + 16 – 41 = 21
⇒ 46 + 16 – 41 = 21
⇒ 62 – 41 = 21
⇒ 21 = 21
21 is equal to 21.
The equation is balanced. So, no need to check other options.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
