Correct Answer :

Option A

725

Solution :

The correct answer is 725.


Step 1: Round off the numbers to their nearest integers for approximation.


2.983


8.048


74.9275


55.8856


Step 2: Substitute the approximate values into the given mathematical expression.


38÷75×56


Step 3: Simplify the expression step-by-step.


First, rewrite the division by 75 as multiplication by its reciprocal 175:


=38×175×56


Next, simplify 375 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3:


375=125


Substitute this back into the expression:


=125×568


Simplify 568:


568=7


Finally, multiply the remaining factors:


=125×7=725


Thus, the approximate value of the question mark (?) is 725.
