831 * 3 * 13 * 45 * 245 * 1

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Given equation: 831 * 3 * 13 * 45 * 245 * 1

Let us check all the options:

Option 1: ÷, +, −, =, ×

The expression becomes:

= 831 ÷ 3 + 13 − 45 = 245 × 1

= 277 + 13 − 45 = 245

= 290 − 45 = 245

= 245 is equal to 245.

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

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
