Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the signs and to balance the given equation.

17*21*7*5*4* 34

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. -, ÷, +, ×, =.

Given equation: 17*21*7*5*4* 34

This equation becomes true only when we put the set of signs given in option 2.

 17 - 21 ÷ 7 + 5 × 4 = 34 ( Using BODMAS)

 17 - 3 + 5 × 4 = 34

17 - 3 + 20 = 34

37 - 3 = 34

34 = 34
