Correct Answer - Option 2 : ÷, +, ×, −

1. ×, +, ÷, −

Given equation: 216 * 6 * 8 * 64 * 48 = 500

After replacing the ‘*’ by the symbols given in the option, we get:

L.H. S = 216 × 6 + 8 ÷ 64 – 48

= 1296 + 0.125 – 48

= 1296.125 – 48

= 1248.125 ≠ R.H.S

2. ÷, +, ×, −

Given equation: 216 * 6 * 8 * 64 * 48 = 500

After replacing the ‘*’ by the symbols given in the option, we get:

L.H. S = 216 ÷ 6 + 8 × 64 – 48

= 36 + 512 – 48

= 548 – 48

= 500 = R.H.S

3. ÷, −, ×, +

Given equation: 216 * 6 * 8 * 64 * 48 = 500

After replacing the ‘*’ by the symbols given in the option, we get:

L.H. S = 216 ÷ 6 - 8 × 64 + 48

= 36 – 512 + 48

= 84 – 512

= -428 ≠ R.H.S

4. ×, +, −, ÷

Given equation: 216 * 6 * 8 * 64 * 48 = 500

After replacing the ‘*’ by the symbols given in the option, we get:

L.H. S = 216 × 6 + 8 - 64 ÷ 48

= 1296 + 8 – 1.34

= 1304 – 1.34

= 1302.66 ≠ R.H.S

Hence, ‘÷, +, ×, −’ is the correct answer.
