Correct Answer: ÷, =, ×

Solution : Given:
96 * 6 * 8 * 2

Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using the BODMAS rule.
Let's check the given options –
First option: ÷, =, ×
⇒ 96 ÷ 6 = 8 × 2
L.H.S.→96 ÷ 6 = 16
R.H.S.→8 × 2 = 16
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Second option: ×, =, ÷
⇒ 96 × 6 = 8 ÷ 2
L.H.S.→96 × 6 = 576
R.H.S.→8 ÷ 2 = 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Third option: =, ÷, ×
⇒ 96 = 6 ÷ 8 × 2
L.H.S.→96
R.H.S.→(6 ÷ 8) × 2 = 0.75 × 2 = 1.5
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Fourth option: =, ×, ÷
⇒ 96 = 6 × 8 ÷ 2
L.H.S.→96
R.H.S.→6 × 8 ÷ 2 = 24
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

So, only the first option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.
