Answer 1

1. + and ÷

294 ÷ 14 × 4 + 16 - 67 = 33

⇒ 21 × 4 + 16 - 67 = 33

⇒ 84 + 16 - 67 = 33

⇒ 100 - 67 = 33

⇒ 33 = 33

2. × and ÷

294 + 14 ÷ 4 × 16 - 67 = 33

⇒ 294 + 3.5 × 16 - 67 = 33

⇒ 294 + 56 - 67 = 33

⇒ 350 - 67 = 33

⇒ 283 ≠ 33

3. + and -

294 - 14 × 4 ÷ 16 + 67 = 33

⇒ 294 - 14 × 0.25 + 67 = 33

⇒ 294 - 3.5 + 67 = 33

⇒ 361 - 3.5 = 33

⇒ 357.5 ≠ 33

4. - and ÷

294 + 14 × 4 - 16 ÷ 67 = 33

⇒ 294 + 56 - 0.23 = 33

⇒ 350 - 0.23 = 33

⇒ 349.77 ≠ 33

Hence, ‘+ and ÷’ is the correct answer.
