Correct Answer :

Option D

12

Solution :

The correct answer is 12.

We are given the following mathematical expression to estimate the value of the missing term represented by ?:

31.9 × 55.011 ? = ( 12.01 ) 3 + 7.94 % of 250.14

To solve for ? easily, let us round off each value to its nearest integer or simple manageable figure:

31.9 32

55.011 55

12.01 12

7.94 % 8 %

250.14 250

Now, substitute these approximate values into the equation:

32 × 55 ? = ( 12 ) 3 + 8 % of 250

Next, evaluate each component of the expression step-by-step:

1. Calculate the product on the left side:

32 × 55 = 1760

2. Calculate the cube of 12:

12 3 = 1728

3. Calculate 8% of 250:

8 % of 250 = 8 100 × 250 = 20

Substitute these calculated values back into our equation:

1760 ? = 1728 + 20

1760 ? = 1748

Finally, solve for ?:

? = 1760 1748

? = 12

Thus, the estimated value that should fill in the blank space is 12.
