Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and balance the equation.
33 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 61 = 188
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) x - ÷ +
Explanation :The given question is a mathematical operations question.
Let us replace the * symbol in the given equation 33 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 61 = 188 in a sequential manner for the given options one by one.
option (a): + ÷ x -
33 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 61 = 188
33 + 4 ÷ 15 x 3 - 61
Let us apply BODMAS and solve
33 + (4/15) x 3 - 61
33 + (4/5) - 8
129/5 ≠ 188
option (b): x - ÷ +
33 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 61 = 188
33 x 4 - 15 ÷ 3 + 61
Let us apply BODMAS and solve
132 - 5 + 61
188 = 188
Here, in option b, LHS = RHS
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
