72 @ 9 @3 @ 6 @ 6 @ 6 @ 6

SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is ÷, ×, +, =,  × , -

The Correct Combination: $\div, \times, +, =, \times, -$

When we replace the $\text{@}$ signs sequentially with these symbols, the equation becomes:

$$72 \div 9 \times 3 + 6 = 6 \times 6 - 6$$

Now, we solve both the Left-Hand Side (LHS) and the Right-Hand Side (RHS) using the BODMAS rule:

1. Solving Left-Hand Side (LHS):

$$\text{LHS} = 72 \div 9 \times 3 + 6$$

Step 1 (Division): Perform $72 \div 9 = 8$

$$\text{LHS} = 8 \times 3 + 6$$

Step 2 (Multiplication): Perform $8 \times 3 = 24$

$$\text{LHS} = 24 + 6$$

Step 3 (Addition): Perform $24 + 6 = 30$

$$\mathbf{\text{LHS} = 30}$$

2. Solving Right-Hand Side (RHS):

$$\text{RHS} = 6 \times 6 - 6$$

Step 1 (Multiplication): Perform $6 \times 6 = 36$

$$\text{RHS} = 36 - 6$$

Step 2 (Subtraction): Perform $36 - 6 = 30$

$$\mathbf{\text{RHS} = 30}$$

Conclusion

Since $\text{LHS} = \text{RHS}$ ($30 = 30$), the question is mathematically consistent and correct.

The correct sequence of signs to balance the equation is $\div, \times, +, =, \times, -$.
