Answer 1

1. + and -

60 × 4 - 9 ÷ 3 + 8 = 34

⇒ 240 - 3 + 8 = 34

⇒ 248 - 3 = 34

⇒ 245 ≠ 34

2. ÷ and +

60 × 4 ÷ 9 + 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 60 × 0.44 + 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 26.4 + 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 29.4 - 8 = 34

⇒ 21.4 ≠ 34

3. + and ×

60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 60 + 4 × 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 60 + 12 - 8 = 34

⇒ 72 - 8 = 34

⇒ 64 ≠ 34

4. ÷ and ×

60 ÷ 4 + 9 × 3 - 8 = 34

⇒ 15 + 27 - 8 = 34

⇒ 42 - 8 = 34

⇒ 34 = 34

Hence, ‘÷ and × ’ is the correct answer.
