1. 488
2. 478
3. 498
4. 468

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 478

According to the question:

Sign	+	-	×	÷
Means	×	÷	-	+

On replacing the actual signs in the equation in place of the given signs, we get:
26 + 74 - 4 × 5 ÷ 2 → 26 × 74 ÷ 4 - 5 + 2
Applying the BODMAS rule here, we get:
⇒ 481 - 3 = 478

Hence, 478 is the correct answer.
