Correct Answer: ÷, ×, +, =, +
Solution : Given: 12 _ 4 _ 2 _ 2 _ 5 _ 3
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: +, =, ÷, ×, + 12 + 4 = 2 ÷ 2 × 5 + 3 L.H.S. = 12 + 4 = 16 R.H.S. = 2 ÷ 2 × 5 + 3 = 1 × 5 + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Second option: ÷, ×, +, =, + 12 ÷ 4 × 2 + 2 = 5 + 3 L.H.S. = 12 ÷ 4 × 2 + 2 = 3 × 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 R.H.S. = 5 + 3 = 8 L.H.S. = R.H.S. Third option: ÷, ×, –, =, × 12 ÷ 4 × 2 – 2 = 5 × 3 L.H.S. = 12 ÷ 4 × 2 – 2 = 3 × 2 – 2 = 6 – 2 = 4 R.H.S. = 5 × 3 = 15 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. Fourth option: ÷, ×, =, +, + 12 ÷ 4 × 2 = 2 + 5 + 3 L.H.S. = 12 ÷ 4 × 2 = 3 × 2 = 6 R.H.S. = 2 + 5 + 3 = 10 L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
So, the second option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
