Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFWe apply the options to the given equation by using the BODMAS rule:
Option 1) 8, 5 and -, +
8 - 44 + 5 × 25 = 203
8 - 44 + 125 = 203
133 - 44 = 203
89 ≠ 203
Option 2) 8, 44 and -, +
5 - 8 + 44 × 25 = 203
5 - 8 + 1100 = 203
1105 - 8 = 203
1097 ≠ 203
Option 3) 8, 5 and -, ×
8 + 44 × 5 - 25 = 203
8 + 220 - 25 = 203
228 - 25 = 203
203 = 203
Option 4) 8, 44 and -, ×
5 + 8 × 44 - 25 = 203
5 + 352 - 25 = 203
357 - 25 = 203
332 ≠ 203
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
