Given equation:- 19 + 63 ÷ 7 – 8 × 12 = 79

By interchanging two signs,

1) × and ÷

19 + 63 × 7 – 8 ÷ 12 = 79

19 + 441 – 0.67 = 79

460 – 0.67 = 79

459.33 = 79

2) – and ×

19 + 63 ÷ 7 × 8 - 12 = 79

19 + 9 × 8 – 12 = 79

19 + 72 – 12 = 79

91 – 12 = 79

79 = 79

Here, option 2 is true so no need to check the remaining option.

Thus, the correct answer is “- and ×”.
