Given equation: 144 - 12 + 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96.

BODMAS Table: 

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) - and ÷

Given: 144 - 12 + 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ 144 ÷ 12 + 18 × 6 - 24 = 96

⇒ 12 + 18 × 6 - 24 = 96 

⇒ 12 + 108 - 24 = 96 

⇒ 120 - 24 = 96

⇒ 96 = 96

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 2) - and ×

Given: 144 - 12 + 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ 144 × 12 + 18 - 6 ÷ 24 = 96

⇒ 144 × 12 + 18 - 0.25 = 96

⇒ 1728 + 18 - 0.25 = 96

⇒ 1746 - 0.25 = 96

⇒ 1745.75 ≠ 96

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) × and ÷

Given: 144 - 12 + 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ 144 - 12 + 18 ÷ 6 × 24 = 96 

⇒ 144 - 12 + 3 × 24 = 96 

⇒ 144 - 12 + 72 = 96 

⇒ 216 - 12 = 96

⇒ 204 ≠ 96

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 4) - and +

Given: 144 - 12 + 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ 144 + 12 - 18 × 6 ÷ 24 = 96

⇒ 144 + 12 - 18 × 0.25 = 96

⇒ 144 + 12 - 4.5 = 96

⇒ 156 - 4.5 = 96

⇒ 151.5 ≠ 96

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
