Which sequence of mathematical symbols can replace *in the given equation to balance the equation ?
7 * 7 * 2 * 1 = 12
-
- x - ÷
- + - x
- x - +
- + x -
Correct Option: B
Given, 7 * 7 * 2 * 1 = 12
Let us check all the options one by one.
From option (a), putting the signs in given equation, we get
7 x 7 - 2 ÷ 1 = 12 ⇒ 7 x 7 - 2 = 12
⇒ 49 - 2 = 12 ⇒ 47 = 12
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
So, option (a) is incorrect.
From option (b), putting the signs in given equation, we get
7 + 7 - 2 x 1 = 12 ⇒ 7 + 7 - 2 = 12
⇒ 14 - 2 = 12 ⇒ 12 = 12
Hence, option (b) is correct and there is no need to check remaining options .
