Correct Answer: 45 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 5 * 13
Solution :
Given:
+, ÷, –, ×, =
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using BODMAS.
Let's check the given options –
First option:
45 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 5 * 13
⇒
45 + 15 ÷ 5 – 7 × 5 = 13
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
=
45 + 3 – 7 × 5
=
45 + 3 – 35
=
10 + 3
= 13
Second option:
45 * 24 * 8 * 7 * 5 * 23
⇒
45 + 24 ÷ 8 – 7 × 5 = 23
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
=
45 + 3 – 7 × 5
=
45 + 3 – 35
= 10 + 3
= 13
≠ 23
Third option:
60 * 15 * 5 * 7 * 5 * 25
⇒
60 + 15 ÷ 5 – 7 × 5 = 25
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
=
60 + 3 – 7 × 5
=
60 + 3 – 35
=
25 + 3
= 28
≠ 25
Fourth option:
45 * 15 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 18
⇒
45 + 15 ÷ 5 – 5 × 5 = 18
Solving the L.H.S of the equation –
=
45 + 3 – 5 × 5
=
45 + 3 – 25
= 20 + 3
= 23
≠ 18
So, only the first option satisfies the given condition. Hence, the first option is correct.
