Given:

59 * 12 * 6 * 24 * 2 * 105

1. Option (1): −, +, −, +, =

Equation: 59 − 12 + 6 − 24 + 2 = 105

⇒ 59 - 12 + 6 - 24 + 2

⇒ 59 + 6 + 2 - (12 + 24)

⇒ 68 - 36

⇒ 32 ≠ 105

Hence, Option (1) is not correct.

2. Option (2): ×, −, +, ×, =

Equation: 59 × 12 - 6 + 24 × 2 = 105

⇒ 708 - 6 + 48

⇒ 702 + 48

⇒ 750 ≠ 105

Hence the option (2) is not correct.

3. Option (3): +, ×, +, −, =

Equation: 59 + 12 × 6 + 24 - 2 = 105

⇒ 59 + 72 + 24 - 2

155 - 2

⇒ 155 ≠ 153

Hence the option (3) is not correct.

4. Option (4): −, ÷, +, ×, =

Equation: 59 - 12 ÷ 6 + 24 × 2 = 105

⇒ 59 - 2 + 48

⇒ 107 - 2 

⇒ 105 = 105

Hence, the correct option is Option (4).
