After interchanging '+ and -' in the options, we get:

1. 7 + 5 × 3 - 24 ÷ 6 = 7

⇒ 7 + 5 × 3 - 24 ÷ 6 = 7

⇒ 7 + 5 × 3 - 4 = 7

⇒ 7 + 15 - 4 = 7

⇒ 22 - 4 = 7

⇒ 18 ≠ 7

2. 20 ÷ 4 + 5 × 6 - 3 = 32

⇒ 20 ÷ 4 + 5 × 6 - 3 = 32

⇒ 5 + 5 × 6 - 3 = 32

5 + 30 - 3 = 32

⇒ 35 - 3 = 32

⇒ 32 = 32

3. 4 - 5 × 2 + 9 ÷ 3 = 5

⇒ 4 - 5 × 29 ÷ 3 = 5

⇒ 4 - 5 × 2 + 3 = 5

4 - 10 + 3 = 5 

⇒ 7 -10 = 5

⇒ -3 ≠ 5

4. 7 × 3 + 10 - 8 ÷ 2 = 29

⇒ 7 × 3 + 10 - 8 ÷ 2 = 29

⇒ 7 × 3 + 10 - 4 = 29

21 + 10 - 4 = 29 

⇒ 31 - 4 = 29

⇒ 27 ≠ 29

Hence, '20 ÷ 4 - 5 × 6 + 3 = 32' is the correct answer.
