Given:

⇒ qImage64cb67e36d24b651725e4f74

(1) ÷, ×, -, =, ×

After putting the signs:

45 ÷ 9 × 3 - 25 = 55 × 15

Apply BODMAS rule:

5 × 3 - 25 = 55 × 15

⇒ 15 - 25 = 825

⇒ (-10) = 825

Here, the equation is not satisfied.

(2) ÷, ×, =, +, +

After putting the signs:

45 ÷ 9 × 3 = 25 + 55 + 15

Apply BODMAS rule:

5 × 3 = 25 + 55 + 15

⇒ 15 = 95

Here, the equation is not satisfied.

(3) +, =, ÷, ×, +

After putting the signs:

⇒ 45 + 9 = 3 ÷ 25 × 55 + 15

Apply BODMAS rule:

⇒ 54 = 0.12 × 55 + 15

⇒ 54 = 6.6 + 15

⇒ 54 = 21.6

Here, the equation is not satisfied.

(4) ÷, ×, +, =, -

After putting the signs:

45 ÷ 9 × 3 + 25 = 55 - 15

Apply BODMAS rule:

5 × 3 + 25 = 40

⇒ 15 + 25 = 40

⇒ 40 = 40

Here, the equation is satisfied.

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