1. -, +, ÷, ×, =

86 - 54 + 34 ÷ 68 × 2 = 33 

⇒ 86 - 54 + 0.5 × 2 = 33

⇒ 86 - 54 + 1 = 33

⇒ 87 - 54 = 33

⇒ 33 = 33

2. ÷, -, +, ×, =

86 ÷ 54 - 34 + 68 × 2 = 33 

1.59 - 34 + 136 = 33 

137.59 - 34 = 33 

⇒ 103.59  33 

3. ×÷×, -, =

86 × 54 ÷ 34 × 68 - 2 = 33 

86 × 1.58 × 68 - 2 = 33 

9239.84 - 2 = 33 

⇒ 9237.84  33 

4. +, ÷×, -, =

86 + 54 ÷ 34 × 68 - 2 = 33 

⇒ 86 + 1.58 × 68 - 2 = 33 

⇒ 86 + 107.44 - 2 = 33 

193.44 - 2 = 33

⇒ 191.44 ≠ 33

Hence, ‘-, +, ÷, ×, =’ is the correct answer.
