By using BODMAS RULE :
Option 1) : ×, ÷, -, +
Given equation : 36 * 12 * 6 * 12 * 3 = 63
After inserting the mathematical operators in given equation the equation is as follows : 36 × 12 ÷ 6 - 12 + 3 = 63
⇒ 36 × 12 ÷ 6 - 12 + 3 = 63
⇒ 36 × 2 - 12 + 3 = 63
⇒ 72 - 12 + 3 = 63
⇒ 75 - 12 = 63
⇒ 63 = 63
LHS = RHS
Option 2) : ÷, -, +, ×
Given equation : 36 * 12 * 6 * 12 * 3 = 63
After inserting the mathematical operators in given equation the equation is as follows : 36 ÷ 12 - 6 + 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 36 ÷ 12 - 6 + 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 3 - 6 + 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 3 - 6 + 36 = 63
⇒ 39 - 6 = 63
⇒ 33 ≠ 63
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 3) : ÷, +, -, ×
Given equation : 36 * 12 * 6 * 12 * 3 = 63
After inserting the mathematical operators in given equation the equation is as follows : 36 ÷ 12 + 6 - 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 36 ÷ 12 + 6 - 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 3 + 6 - 12 × 3 = 63
⇒ 3 + 6 - 36 = 63
⇒ 9 - 36 = 63
⇒ 27 ≠ 63
LHS ≠ RHS
Option 4) : +, ÷, ×, -
Given equation : 36 * 12 * 6 * 12 * 3 = 63
After inserting the mathematical operators in given equation the equation is as follows : 36 + 12 ÷ 6 × 12 - 3 = 63
⇒ 36 + 12 ÷ 6 × 12 - 3 = 63
⇒ 36 + 2 × 12 - 3 = 63
⇒ 36 + 24 - 3 = 63
⇒ 60 - 3 = 63
⇒ 57 ≠ 63
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence, the correct answer is "×, ÷, -, +".
