Correct Answer :

Option A

10

Solution :

The correct option is 10.

To estimate the value that should replace the question mark (?), we can round each decimal number in the expression to its nearest whole number:


109.09109
511.98512
15.9716
20.9921
19.9620

Substituting these rounded values into the original equation gives:


109+512÷16?2=212202

Step 1: Simplify the division on the left-hand side (LHS) following BODMAS rules.


512÷16=32

Now, simplify the addition on the left-hand side:


109+32?2=141?2

Step 2: Calculate the right-hand side (RHS).


212=441
202=400
212202=441400=41

Step 3: Equate LHS and RHS to solve for ?.


141?2=41
?2=14141
?2=100
?=100=10

Thus, the estimated value that replaces the question mark is 10.
