Correct Answer :

Option D

14

Solution :

To find the approximate value that should come in place of the question mark (?), we can simplify each term in the given equation to its nearest convenient value.

The given equation is:
? × 170 = 26 127 3 6 × 6 330 23

Let's approximate each term step-by-step:

1. Approximating the left-hand side square root term:
Since 169 is a perfect square (132=169):
170 169 = 13

2. Approximating the first mixed fraction term:
First, approximate the cube root in the numerator. Since 125 is a perfect cube (53=125):
127 3 125 3 = 5
Substituting this back gives:
26 127 3 6 26 5 6 = 26 + 0.833 = 26.833

3. Approximating the second mixed fraction term:
First, approximate the square root in the numerator. Since 324 is a perfect square (182=324):
330 324 = 18
Substituting this back gives:
6 330 23 6 18 23 6 + 0.783 = 6.783

4. Calculating the product on the right-hand side:
Now, multiply the two approximated values:
26.833 × 6.783 182

5. Solving for the question mark (?):
Let the question mark be represented by x:
x × 13 182
x 182 13
x 14

Therefore, the approximate value that should come in place of the question mark is 14.
