Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 10 and 5, - and ×.

Given equation: 5 ÷ 10 × 12 + 14 - 7 = 88

Option 1)10 and 5, - and ×

After interchanging the signs and number,

⇒ 10 ÷ 5 - 12 + 14 × 7 = 88

⇒ 2 - 12 + 14 × 7 = 88

⇒ 2 - 12 + 98 = 88

⇒ 100 - 12 = 88

⇒ 88 = 88
