(a) 48
(b) 36
(c) 60
(d) 52
(e) 46

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.d

? = 857 of 14% – 5.6 × 12.128

≈ 857 of 14% – 5.6 × 12 ≈ 120 – 67 ≈ 52

2. What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following equation?

535 ÷ 31115 + 512 = ?

(a) 7

(d) 612
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.a

? = 535 ÷ 31115 + 512 = 285 ÷ 5615 + 112

= 285 × 1556 + 112 = 32 + 112 = 142 = 7

(a) 4600
(b) 4800
(c) 5200
(d) 6400
(e) 3600

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.b

3700 + 1100 = 4800

6. What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?

8.539 + 16.84 × 6.5 ÷ 4.2 = ?

(a) 25
(b) 42
(c) 44
(d) 35
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.d

? 8.6 + 4 × 6.5 = 35

7. What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?

1723 of 180 + 14 of 480 = ?

(a) 3180
(b) 3420
(c) 3200
(d) 3300
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.d

1723 of 180 + 14 of 480 = ?

or, ? = 533 of 180 + 14 of 480 = = 3180 + 120 = 3300

8. What approximate value should come in the place of question mark (?) in the following equation?

1325√(17) + 508.24 of 20% – 85.39 of 34 = ?

(a) 5500
(b) 5200
(c) 5800
(d) 4900
(e) 5900

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.a

? = 1325√(17) + 508.24 of 20% – 85.39 of 34

= 1325√(17) + 500 of 20% – 85 × 0.75

= 5460 + 100 – 60 = 5500

9. What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following equation?

45% of 1500 + 35% of 1700 = ? % of 3175.

(a) 50
(b) 45
(c) 30
(d) 35
(e) None of these

#### View Ans & Explanation

Ans.e

45% of 1500 + 35% of 1700 = ? % of 3175

∴ ? = $\frac{127000}{3175} = 40$
