Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Understanding

Given Equation: 78 * 3 * 4 * 36 * 140

Check all the options:

Option 1: ÷ × + =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  78 ÷ 3 × 4 + 36 = 140

= 140 is equal to 140.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Option 2: - + × =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  78 - 3 + 4 × 36 = 140

= 219 is not equal to 140.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: ÷ × - =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  78 ÷ 3 × 4 - 36 = 140

= 68 is not equal to 140.

Hence, option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4: + + ÷ =

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 78 + 3 + 4 ÷ 36 = 140

= 81.12 is not equal to 140.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
