Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. + and ×.

Given equation: 117 ÷ 13 + 16 × 540 - 40 = 644

Option 1: + and ×

After interchanging the expression becomes:

117 ÷ 13 + 16 × 540 - 40 = 644

117 ÷ 13 × 16 + 540 - 40= 644

9 × 16 + 540 - 40 = 644

144 + 540 - 40 = 644

684 - 40 = 644

644 = 644
