Correct Answer :

Option A

8

Solution :

The correct option is 8.

To estimate the value of the question mark (?), we round off the given numbers to their nearest simple whole numbers:

59.90 % 60 %

1020.11 1020

9.88 % 10 %

79.91 80

92.01 92

Now, substitute these approximate values into the given expression:

( 60 %  of  1020 ) ( 10 %  of  80 ) = ? 3 + 92

Step 1: Calculate 60% of 1020.

60 100 × 1020 = 6 × 102 = 612

Step 2: Calculate 10% of 80.

10 100 × 80 = 8

Step 3: Simplify the left side of the equation.

612 8 = 604

Step 4: Solve for ?3.

604 = ? 3 + 92

? 3 = 604 92

? 3 = 512

Step 5: Find the cube root of 512.

? = 512 3

Since 83 = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512, we get:

? = 8

Thus, the approximate value that replaces the question mark is 8.
