    Approximation & Simplification Questions with Solutions

    Directions (Q1 - Q10): Simplify the following equations and find the most approximate value for each
    of them:

    Q 1. 113 - 63 - 23 ÷ 102 = ?
    1. 1000
    2. 990
    3. 998
    4. 997
    5. 992
    Answer: (2) 990

    Solution:
    113 - 63 - 103 ÷ 22 = ?
    ⇒ According to BODMAS, 103 ÷ 22 = 125
    Then,
    ⇒ 1331 - 216 - 125 = ?
    ⇒ 1115 - 125 = 990

    Q 2. 37.95% of 1200 – 5.78% of 1800 =?


    1. 350
    2. 342
    3. 348
    4. 346
    5. 352
    Answer: (3) 348

    Solution:
    37.95% of 1200 = 38% × 1200 = 456
    5.78% of 1800 = 6% × 1800 = 108
    So,
    456 - 108 = 348

    Q 3. 4(3/10) + 2(5/3) – 5(7/8) = ?


    1. 17
    2. 20
    3. 21
    4. 23
    5. 22
    Answer: (1) 17

    Solution:
    4(3/10) = 43/10
    2(5/3) = 11/3
    5(7/8) = 47/8
    Thus, (43/10) + (11/3) + (47/8) = 4.3+3.66+5.8 = 4+4+6 = 14

    Q 4. 455.98 ÷ 24.04 × 38.190 – 957.88 + 363.78 = ?


    1. 127
    2. 128
    3. 129
    4. 130
    5. 131.890
    Answer: (2) 128

    Solution:
    455.98 ÷ 24.04 × 38.190 – 957.88 + 363.78 = ?
    ⇒ 456 ÷ 24 × 38 - 958 + 364 = ?
    ⇒ 19 × 38 - 958 + 364 = ?
    ⇒ 722 - 958 + 364 = ?
    ⇒ 722 - 594 = ?
    ⇒ ? = 128

    Q 5. (2221.78 – 1680 × 0.68) × 1.4 = ?


    1. 1115
    2. 1215
    3. 1125
    4. 1512
    5. 1521
    Answer: (4) 1512

    Solution:
    (2221.78 – 1680 × 0.68) × 1.4 = ?
    ⇒ (2221.78 – 1142.4) × 1.4 = ?
    ⇒ 1080 × 1.4 = ?
    ⇒ ? = 1512

    Q 6. 888.88 + 88.88 + 18 + 0.88 + 0.08 = ?


    1. 996.72
    2. 995.72
    3. 997.72
    4. 996.62
    5. 995.52
    Answer: (1) 996.72

    Solution:
    888.88 + 88.88 + 18 + 0.88 + 0.08 = ?
    ? = 996.72

    Q 7. 6.2 × 3.3 + 1.72 × 7.82 + 134.001 = ?


    1. 160
    2. 162
    3. 164
    4. 166
    5. 168
    Answer: (5) 168

    Solution:
    6.2 × 3.3 + 1.72 × 7.82 + 134.001 = ?
    6.2 × 3.3 = 20.46
    1.72 × 7.82 = 13.45
    Thus,
    20.46 + 13.45 + 134.001 = 167.911

    Q 8. (4448 – 2884 – 569) ÷ (279 – 116 – 93) = ?


    1. 14
    2. 16
    3. 18
    4. 19
    5. 22
    Answer: (1) 14

    Solution:
    (4448 – 2884 – 569) ÷ (279 – 116 – 93) = ?
    (4448 – 2884 – 569) = 995
    (279 – 116 – 93) = 70
    Thus,
    995 ÷ 70 = 14.22

    Q 9. (79.012)² – (43.99)² =?
    1. 4300
    2. 4301
    3. 4302
    4. 4304
    5. 4305
    Answer: (5) 4305

    Solution:
    (79.012)² – (43.99)² =?
    ⇒ (79)² – (44)² =?
    ⇒ 6241 - 1936
    ⇒ 4305

    Q 10. 22240 ÷ √? = 24 × 17
    1. 55
    2. 3025
    3. 3021
    4. 53
    5. None of the Above
    Answer: (2) 3025

    Solution:
    22240 ÷ √? = 24 × 17
    ⇒ 22240 ÷ √? = 408
    ⇒ √? = 22240 ÷ 408
    ⇒ √? = 54.51
    Therefore, √? = 55 and ? = 55 × 55 = 3025
