Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe pattern followed here is:-
Let's check each option one by one:
Option 1) -, +, ×, =
After replacing the * sign with a mathematical sign we get:
⇒ 25 - 4 + 6 × 2 = 17
⇒ 25 - 4 + 12 = 17
⇒ 37 - 4 = 17
⇒ 33 ≠ 17
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 2) +, -, =, +
After replacing the * sign with a mathematical sign we get:
⇒ 25 + 4 - 6 = 2 + 17
⇒ 29 - 6 = 2 + 17
⇒ 23 ≠ 19
⇒ LHS ≠
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) +, -, ÷, =
After replacing the * sign with a mathematical sign we get:
⇒ 25 + 4 - 6 ÷ 2 = 17
⇒ 25 + 4 - 3 = 17
⇒ 29 - 3 = 17
⇒ 26 ≠ 17
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
Option 4) +, -, ×, =
After replacing the * sign with a mathematical sign we get:
⇒ 25 + 4 - 6 × 2 = 17
⇒ 25 + 4 - 12 = 17
⇒ 29 - 12 = 17
⇒ 17 = 17
⇒ LHS = RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
