Question

select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace 'A' sequentially from left to right and balance the following equation.

26 A 2 A 3 A 3 A 13

1. ×, =, -, ÷ 
2. ÷, ×,  =, -
3. ×, ÷, +, =
4. ÷, ×, =, × 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : ÷, ×, =, × 

Replacing the following signs and solving the equation,

Option 1 → ×, =, -, ÷ 

Replacing the signs

26 × 2 = 3 - 3 ÷ 13

Using BODMAS rule,

26 × 2 = 3 – 0.23

52 is not equal to 2.77

Option 2 → ÷, ×, =, -

Replacing the signs

26 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 - 13

Using BODMAS rule,

13 × 3 = 3 – 13

39 is not equal to – 10

Option 3 → ×, ÷, +, =

Replacing the signs

26 × 2 ÷ 3 + 3 = 13

Using BODMAS rule,

26 × 0.66 + 3 = 13

17. 16 + 3 = 13

20.16 is not equal to 13

Option 4 → ÷, ×, =, × 

Replacing the signs

26 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 × 13

Using BODMAS rule,

13 × 3 = 3 × 13

39 = 39

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
