Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : − × ÷ =

Given

32 * 8 * 14 * 7 * 16

On checking each option:

1) 32 × 8 - 14 + 7 = 16

256 - 14 + 7 =16

263 - 14 = 16

249 ≠ 16

2) 32 ÷ 8 × 14 - 7 = 16

4 × 14 - 7 = 16

56 - 7 = 16

49  ≠ 16

3) 32+ 8 = 14  ÷ 7 × 16

40 = 2 × 16

40 ≠ 32

4) 32 - 8 × 14  ÷ 7 = 16

32 - 8 × 2 = 16

32 - 16 = 16

16 = 16

Hence, '− × ÷ =' is the correct answer.
