Direction: What approximate value should come in place of the question mark(?) in the following question ? (Note that you are not expected to calculate the exact value).

  1. (9.95)2 x (2.01)3 = 2 x (?)2
    1. 12
    2. 15
    3. 25
    4. 20
Correct Option: D

(9.95)2 x (2.01)3 = 2 x (?)2
Here, 9.95 is Approximated to 10, 2.01 is approximate to 2 because calculating the square or cubes of whole number is much easier than to calculate the square or cube of decimal numbers
2 x (?) 2 = ( 10)2 x (2)3 = 100 x 8 = 800
⇒ (?)2 = 400
∴ ? =20
