c

d

4 < 2 > 5 + 8 × 5

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

Option (1)

4 < 2 + 5 + 8 × 5

⇒ 4 × 2 – 5 – 8 = 5

⇒ 8 – 5 – 8 z 5

Option (2)

4 = 2 + 5 > 8 × 5

⇒ 4 ÷ 2 – 5 + 8 = 5

⇒ 2 – 5 + 8 = 5

Option (3)

4 < 2 > 5 + 8 × 5

⇒ 4 × 2 + 5 – 8 = 5

⇒ 8 + 5 – 8 = 5

Option (4)

4 > 2 < 5 + 8 – 5

⇒ 4 + 2 × 5 – 8 > 5

⇒ 4 + 10 – 8 > 5

⇒ 14 – 8 > 5

⇒ 6 > 5
