Which sequence of mathematical symbols can replace * in the given equation to balance the equation?
7 * 7 * 2 * 1= 12
Options:
A .  x - ÷
B .  + - x
C .  x - +
D .  + x -
Answer: Option B Answer: (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.
