    Try All option one by one

    Correct Option: B

    From option (b),
    49 - 7 + 3 ÷ 5 x 8 = 24
    Change the sign, as per the question,
    49 ÷ 7 x 3 - 5 + 8 = 24
    ⇒ 7 x 3 - 5 + 8 = 24
    ⇒ 21 - 5 + 8 = 24
    ∴ 24 = 24

    Change the proper sign according to question and try all option one by one by applying the BODMAS Rule.

    Correct Option: B

    Change the proper sign according to question and try all option one by one by applying the BODMAS Rule.
    '-' ⇒ ÷
    '+' ⇒ '-'
    ÷ ⇒ 'x'
    'x' ⇒ '+'
    ∴ 70 ÷ 2 - 4 x 5 + 6 = 21
    ⇒ 35 - 20 + 6 = 21
    ⇒ 15 + 6 = 21
    ⇒ 21 = 21

    Using the proper symbols, we have
    24 ÷ 12 - 8 + 9
    Now Apply the BODMAS Rule

    Correct Option: D

    Using the proper symbols, we have
    24 ÷ 12 - 8 + 9
    Now Apply the BODMAS Rule,
    = 24 x 12 + 18 ÷ 9
    = 288 + 2 = 290
