Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. + and -.

Understanding

Given Equation: 20 ÷ 10 × 100 - 10 + 100 = 910

Check all the options:

Option 1: + and ×

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  20 ÷ 10 + 100 - 10 × 100

= -898 is not equal to 110.

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: × and -

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  20 ÷ 10 - 100 × 10 + 100

= -898 is not equal to 110.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: ÷ and ×

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  20 × 10 ÷ 100 - 10 + 100

= 92 is not equal to 110.

Hence, option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4: + and -

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 20 ÷ 10 × 100 + 10 - 100

= 110 is equal to 110.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
