Given : 65 * 45 * 25 * 5 * 35 * 60

According to the question, by replacing the *signs :

So,

  • Option - (1) : -, +, -, +, =

​65 - 45 + 25 - 5 + 35 = 60

65 + 25 + 35 - 45 - 5 = 60

125 - 45 - 5 = 60

75 ≠ 60 (LHS ≠ RHS) 

  • Option - (2) : +, ×, +, -, = 

65 + 45 × 25 + 5 - 35 = 60

65 + 1125 + 5 - 35 = 60

1195 - 35 = 60

1160 ≠ 60 (LHS ≠ RHS) 

  • Option - (3) : +, -, +, -, =

65 + 45 - 25 + 5 - 35 = 60

110 - 25 + 5 - 35 = 60

55 ≠ 60 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (4) : -, +, ÷, +, =

​65 - 45 + 25 ÷​ 5 + 35 = 60

65 + 5 + 35 - 45 = 60

105 - 45 = 60

60 = 60 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (4)" is the correct answer.
