Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e × and ÷; 35 and 11.

Understanding

Given equation: 11 × 7 ÷ 35 - 64 + 56 = 47

Check all the options:

Option 1: × and ÷; 35 and 56

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 11 ÷ 7 × 56 - 64 + 35

= 59 is not equal to 47.

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: + and -; 35 and 11

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 35 × 7 ÷ 11 + 64 - 56

= 30.27 is not equal to 47.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: × and ÷; 35 and 11

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 35 ÷ 7 × 11 - 64 + 56

= 47 is equal to 47.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: + and -; 7 and 11

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 7 × 11 ÷ 35 + 64 - 56

= 10.2 is not equal to 47.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
