How to select Activation Function?

#1

Sir, I tried 2 layers and 3layers and different number of neurons in each layer with relu and sigmoid. I tried everything, and my accuracy is always in range (70-88)%.

Then I finally tried 'tanh 'as activation function. I got 96% accuracy in first go.

My doubt is, how do we know the best activation function for hidden layers depending on the dataset.
