BODMAS rule

Given equation: 39 * 3 * 2 = 3 * 7 * 6

Let's check each option by replacing the '*' signs and applying the BODMAS rule:

Option 1) + , × , ÷ , -

Equation: 39 + 3 × 2 = 3 ÷ 7 - 6

LHS: 39 + 3 × 2 = 39 + 6 = 45

RHS: 3 ÷ 7 - 6 ≈ 0.428 - 6 = -5.572

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) + , × , × , +

Equation: 39 + 3 × 2 = 3 × 7 + 6

LHS: 39 + 3 × 2 = 39 + 6 = 45

RHS: 3 × 7 + 6 = 21 + 6 = 27

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) ÷ , + , × , -

Equation: 39 ÷ 3 + 2 = 3 × 7 - 6

LHS: 39 ÷ 3 + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

RHS: 3 × 7 - 6 = 21 - 6 = 15

LHS = RHS

Option 4) × , - , ÷ , +

Equation: 39 × 3 - 2 = 3 ÷ 7 + 6

LHS: 39 × 3 - 2 = 117 - 2 = 115

RHS: 3 ÷ 7 + 6 ≈ 0.428 + 6 = 6.428

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
