Correct Answers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
A C A D D B A C C A
Explanations:
1. 196.1 × 196.1 × 196.1 × 196.1 × 4.01 × 4.001 × 4.999 × 4.999 = (196.1)4 × 4 × ?
or, 4 × ? = 4.01 × 4.001 × 4.999 × 4.999
or, ? ≈ 4 × 5 × 5 = 100
Hence, option A is correct.
2.
2 1 3 6
?= × + ÷
7 8 7 14
2 1 3 14 1
= × + × = +1
7 8 7 6 28
1
= 1 ≈1
28
Hence, option C is correct.
3. ? = (10.1)2.01 + (2.9)3.001 ≈ (10)2 + (3)3
= 100 + 27 ≈ 130
Hence, option A is correct.
4. 4.76 × ? = √
4.76 × ? = 44.72
or, ? ≈ 9
Hence, option D is correct..
5.
1
? = 23% of 4011 + of 5555
7
= 922.53 + 793.57 ≈ 1700.
Hence, option D is correct.
6. ? ≈ (340 × 10) ÷ 6.4 + 1245
? ≈ 531 + 1245 ≈ 1776.
Hence, option B is correct.
7. (52.022 – 34.012) ÷ 17.99 × √ ≈ 1720
(52 + 34)(52 – 34)
⇒ × √? ≈ 1720
18
⇒ √ ≈ 1720 ÷ 86 ≈ 20
∴ ? = 20 × 20 = 400.
Hence, option A is correct.
8. √
× = 144
⇒ = 144 ⇒ 144 × √ = 3600
√
=√ = = 25 ⇒ ? = 25 × 25 = 625
Hence, option C is correct.
9. 350 × 20 + ?2 × 180 ≈ 11500
⇒ 7000 + ?2 × 180 ≈ 11500
⇒ ?2 × 180 ≈ 11500 – 7000 ≈ 4500
4500
⇒ ?2 = ≈ 25
180
⇒ ? = √ ≈ 5.
Hence, option C is correct.
10.
750 × 52 420 × 45
+ – ? ≈ 225
100 100
⇒ 390 + 189 – ? ≈ 225
⇒ ? ≈ 579 – 225 ≈ 354.
Hence, option A is correct.
