SSC GD Constable (English) - 25 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q73

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

19 * 5 * 5 * 220 * 2 * 10

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ×, +, =, ÷, −.

Given equation: 19 * 5 * 5 * 220 * 2 * 10

Option 1: +, −, =, ×, ÷

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 19 + 5 − 5 = 220 × 2 ÷ 10

= 19 + 5 − 5 = 44

= 19 is not equal to 44

Option 2: ×, +, =, ÷, −

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= 19 × 5 + 5 = 220 ÷ 2 −10

= 95 + 5 = 110 −10

= 100 = 100

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

Hence, ÷, ×, =, +, − is the correct answer.
