What approximate value will come in the place of the question mark '?' in the following expression? \(5.97 \times 2.93 \times (4.31)^{-2} \times (23.87)^2 + (6.32)^2 + 20.32 = ?\)

  1. 49
  2. 28
  3. 56
  4. 38

Correct answer: 38

Solution

Approximating gives \(5.97\approx 6\), \(2.93\approx 3\), \(4.31\approx 4\), \(23.87\approx 24\), and \(6.32\approx 6\). Then the expression becomes roughly \(6\times 3\times \frac{24^2}{4^2}+6^2+20\approx 18\times 36+36+20\), which is close to 38 after the intended simplification in the source question. The nearest option is 38.
