Given statement : 25 * 5 * 10 * 2 * 13

According to the question, after interchanging the signs :

So,

  • Option - (1) : ÷, ×, -, =

25 ÷ 5 × 10 - 2 = 13

5 × 10 - 2 = 13

50 - 2 = 13

48 48 (LHS RHS)

  • Option - (2) : ÷, -, +, =

25 ÷ 5 - 10 + 2 = 13

5 + 2 - 10 = 13

7 - 10 = 13

-3 13 (LHS RHS)

  • Option - (3) : ×, +, -, =

25 × 5 + 10 - 2 = 13

125 + 10 - 2 = 13

135 - 2 = 13

133 13 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (4) : ÷, +, -, =

25 ÷ 5 + 10 - 2 = 13

5 + 10 - 2 = 13

15 - 2 = 13

13 = 13 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (4)" is the correct answer.
