Given: 12 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 8 * 4
According to the question, after replacing the signs:
Option 1): +, ×, –, ÷, =
12 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 8 * 4 ⇒ 12 + 6 × 3 - 2 ÷ 8 = 4
⇒ 12 + 6 × 3 - 2 ÷ 8 = 4
⇒ 12 + 6 × 3 - 0.25 = 4
⇒ 12 + 18 - 0.25 = 4
⇒ 30 - 0.25 = 4
⇒ 29.75 ≠ 4 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 2): +, ×, –, =, ÷
12 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 8 * 4 ⇒ 12 + 6 × 3 - 2 = 8 ÷ 4
⇒ 12 + 6 × 3 - 2 = 8 ÷ 4
⇒ 12 + 18 - 2 = 2
⇒ 30 - 2 = 2
⇒ 28 ≠ 2 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 3): +, –, ×, ÷, =
12 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 8 * 4 ⇒ 12 + 6 - 3 × 2 ÷ 8 = 4
⇒ 12 + 6 - 3 × 2 ÷ 8 = 4
⇒ 12 + 6 - 3 × 0.25 = 4
⇒ 12 + 6 - 0.75 = 4
⇒ 18 - 0.75 = 4
⇒ 17.25 ≠ 4 (LHS ≠ RHS)
Option 4): ÷, –, ×, +, =
12 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 8 * 4 ⇒ 12 ÷ 6 - 3 × 2 + 8 = 4
⇒ 12 ÷ 6 - 3 × 2 + 8 = 4
⇒ 2 - 3 × 2 + 8 = 4
⇒ 2 + 8 - 6 = 4
⇒ 10 - 6 = 4
⇒ 4 = 4 (LHS = RHS)
Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

= and ×
= and +
= and ÷
Correct answer
= and −
Why this answer is correct
Given equation: 264 ÷ 4 × 7 = 87 − 370 + 5
Option 1) = and -
Two signs need to be interchanged then:
⇒ 264 ÷ 4 × 7 - 87 = 370 + 5
⇒ 66 × 7 - 87 = 370 + 5
⇒ 462 - 87 = 370 + 5
⇒ 375 = 375
Option 2) = and ×
Two signs need to be interchanged then:
⇒ 264 ÷ 4 = 7 × 87 − 370 + 5
⇒ 66 = 609 − 370 + 5
⇒ 66 = 614 − 370
⇒ 66 ≠ 244
Option 3) = and +
Two signs need to be interchanged then:
⇒ 264 ÷ 4 × 7 + 87 − 370 = 5
⇒ 66 × 7 + 87 − 370 = 5
⇒ 462 + 87 − 370 = 5
⇒ 529 − 370 = 5
⇒ 179 ≠ 5
Option 4) = and ÷
Two signs need to be interchanged then:
⇒ 264 = 4 × 7 ÷ 87 − 370 + 5
⇒ 264 = 0.32 − 370 + 5
⇒ 264 = 5.32 − 370
⇒ 264 ≠ -364.68
Hence, the correct answer is "= and -".

Three different positions of the same dice are shown. Select the symbol that will be on the face opposite to the face showing ‘L’.
%
@
&
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
For find the opposite surface of 'L', we need to compare the common surface in the given dices,
So, From Dice 1 and Dice 2,
From both dices, L is common and on the same surface. So, all remaining surface will be opposite to each other.
$ is opposite to @.
% is opposite to &.
So, # will be opposite to L.
Hence, the correct answer is "#"$.

1260 ∶ 1890 ∶∶ ? ∶ 2160 ∶∶ 1882 ∶ 2823
1280
1440
1480
1860
Correct answer
1440
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: 2nd number ÷ 1.5 = 1st number.
Now,
For, 1260 : 1890
⇒ 1890 ÷ 1.5 = 1260.
For, 1882 : 2823
⇒ 2823 ÷ 1.5 = 1882.
Similarly, for ? : 2160
⇒ 2160 ÷ 1.5 = 1440.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
