SSC CGL Tier II - 6 March 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q47

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

268 * 4 * 8 * 5 * 14 = 41

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Given equation: 268 * 4 * 8 * 5 * 14 = 41

Option 1: ÷, −, ×, +

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 268 ÷ 4 − 8 × 5 + 14 = 41

= 67 − 8 × 5 + 14

= 67 − 40 + 14

= 41 is equal to 41.

As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
