61) \(\displaystyle 59.88\div 12.21\times 6.35=?\)

(a) 10

(b) 50

(c) 30

(d) 70

(e) 90


Solution: (c)
\(\displaystyle ?=59.88\div 12.21\times 6.35\)
By approximation, take the nearest values
\(\displaystyle 60\div 12\times 6=60\times \frac{1}{{12}}\times 6\approx 30\)

62) \(\displaystyle 43931.03\div 2111.02\times 401.04=?\)

(a) 8800

(b) 7600

(c) 7400

(d) 9000

(e) 8300


Solution: (e)
\(\displaystyle ?=43931.03\div 2111.02\times 401.04\approx 43930\div 2110\times 400\)
\(\displaystyle 43930\times \frac{1}{{2110}}\times 400\approx 8300\)

63) \(\displaystyle \sqrt{{6354}}\times 34.993=?\)

(a) 3000

(b) 2800

(c) 2500

(d) 3300

(e) 2600


Solution: (b)

\(\displaystyle ?=\sqrt{{6354}}\times 34.993\approx 80\times 35=2800\)

Try to practice this type of problems, without pen and paper. You need to be conversant with the some important squares and cubes. This comes with practicing mcq on approximation.  

64) \(\displaystyle {{12.999}^{3}}=?\)

(a) 1800

(b) 2100

(c) 2000

(d) 2500

(e) 2200


Solution: (e)
\(\displaystyle ?={{12.999}^{3}}\approx {{13}^{3}}\approx 2197\approx 2200\)

65) \(\displaystyle 50550\div 50\div 5=?\)         

(a) 350

(b) 150

(c) 200

(d) 250

(e) 300


Solution: (c)
\(\displaystyle 50550\div 50\div 5=?\)
\(\displaystyle ?=1011\div 5=202.2\approx 200\)

66) \(\displaystyle 49.0003\div 74.999=?\)

(a) 0.05

(b) 0.2

(c) 1

(d) 0.7

(e) 2


Solution: (d)

\(\displaystyle ?=\frac{{49}}{{75}}=0.655\approx 0.7\)

Alternate method without pen and paper,

49 is approximately 50 and 74.9 is approximately 75 so we can see that its 2 parts to 3 parts with is nothing but 2/3 which is 0.66. so from the options we have (d) as the approximate value.

67) \(\displaystyle 23.003\times 22.998+100.010=?\)

(a) 630

(b) 550

(c) 700

(d) 720

(e) 510


Solution: (a)
\(\displaystyle ?\approx 23\times 23+100=529+100=629\approx 630\)

68) 125.009 + 69.999 + 104.989 = ?

(a) 420

(b) 300

(c) 285

(d) 415

(e) 325


Solution: (b)

By approximation method, take nearest whole values

\(\displaystyle ?\approx 125\text{ }+70+105\approx 195+105\approx 300\)

69) \(\displaystyle 9125\div 90\div 9=?\)

(a) 27

(b) 3

(c) 7

(d) 21

(e) 11


Solution: (e)

\(\displaystyle \frac{{9125}}{{90\times 9}}=11.26\approx 11\)

Without pen and paper,

By approximation method, consider 9125 as 9000, which when divided by 90 gives 100 again when the 100 is divided by 9 we can get 11.11. We can get our answer by oral calculation, which will save time.

70) 6666.009 – 585.999 – 79.989 = ?

(a) 5000

(b) 5500

(c) 6500

(d) 6000

(e) 4500


Solution: (d)
6666 – 586 – 80 = 6000
