Which mathematical signs should come in place of A and B to make the equation correct? \(18\ A\ 6\ B\ 3 = 36\)

1. + and ×
2. × and -
3. - and ×
4. + and -

Correct answer: + and ×

Solution

Substitute the signs and check the expression using BODMAS. With + and ×, we get \(18 + 6 \times 3 = 18 + 18 = 36\), which is correct. The other combinations do not give 36.
