Option 2 : + and ÷

Changing symbols as per the given options,

1) + and ­

Given statement : 12 × 4 + 2 ÷ 3 – 3

On interchanging the above signs,

12 × 4 - 2 ÷ 3 + 3

= 12 × 4 - 0.67 + 3

= 48 - 0.67 + 3

= 51 ­- 0.67

= 50.33 ≠ 24

2) + and ÷

Given statement : 12 × 4 + 2 ÷ 3 – 3

On interchanging the above signs,

12 × 4 ÷ 2 + 3 – 3

= 12 × 2 + 3 - 3

= 24 + 3 ­- 3

= 27 -­ 3

= 24

3) × and +

Given statement : 12 × 4 + 2 ÷ 3 – 3

On interchanging the above signs,

12 + 4 × 2 ÷ 3 – 3

= 12 + 4 × 0.67 ­ 3

= 12 + 2.68 ­- 3

= 14.68 -­ 3

= 11.68 ≠ 24

4) × and -

Given statement : 12 × 4 + 2 ÷ 3 – 3

On interchanging the above signs,

12 - 4 + 2 ÷ 3 × 3

= 12 -­ 4 + 0.67 × 3

= 12 -­ 4 + 2.01

= 14.01 -­ 4

= 10.01 ≠ 24

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