1. – and +

588 ÷ 28 × 32 - 72 + 160 = 760

21 × 32 - 72 + 160 = 760

⇒ 672 - 72 + 160 = 760

832 - 72 = 760

⇒ 760 = 760

2. ÷ and –

588 - 28 × 32 + 72 ÷ 160 = 760

588 - 896 + 0.45 = 760

588.45 - 896 = 760

⇒ -307.55 ≠ 760

3. + and ×

588 ÷ 2832 × 72 – 160 = 760

21 + 2304 - 160 = 760

2325 - 160 = 760

⇒ 2165 ≠ 760

4. ÷ and +

588 + 28 × 32 ÷ 72 – 160 = 760

⇒ 588 + 28 × 0.45 - 160 = 760

588 + 12.6 - 160 = 760

600.6 - 160 = 760

⇒ 440.6 ≠ 760

Hence, '– and +' is the correct answer.
