Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8 and 12

By checking the options :

1) × and +

Given equation : (56 ÷ 7) + 5 × 8 – 12 = 60

After interchanging the position of the symbol as given in the option.

(56 ÷ 7) × 5 + 8 – 12 = 60

8 × 5 + 8 - 12 = 60

40 + 8 - 12 = 60

48 - 12 = 60 

36 ≠ 60

2) + and ÷

Given equation : (56 ÷ 7) + 5 × 8 – 12 = 60

After interchanging the position of the symbol as given in the option.

(56 + 7) ÷ 5 × 8 – 12 = 60

63 ÷ 5 × 8 - 12 = 60

12.6 × 8 - 12 = 60

100.8 - 12 = 60 

88.8 ≠ 60

3) 8 and 12

Given equation : (56 ÷ 7) + 5 × 8 – 12 = 60

After interchanging the position of the symbol as given in the option.

(56 ÷ 7) + 5 × 12 – 8 = 60

8 + 5 × 12 - 8 = 60

8 + 60 - 8 = 60

68 - 8 = 60 

60 = 60

4) 7 and 5

Given equation : (56 ÷ 7) + 5 × 8 – 12 = 60

After interchanging the position of the symbol as given in the option.

 (56 ÷ 5) + 7 × 8 – 12 = 60

11.2 + 7 × 8 – 12 = 60

11.2 + 56 - 12 = 60

67.2 -12 = 60

55.2 ≠ 60

Hence,'8 and 12' is the correct answer.
