Correct Answer :

Option A

413

Solution :

The correct answer is 413.

To find the approximate value of the question mark (?), we round off each decimal term in the given equation to its nearest whole number or convenient value.

The given equation is:

1764.02+21.042?=512×167.97

Step 1: Approximate each term of the equation.

1. Approximate 1764.02:

1764.021764=42

2. Approximate 21.042:

21.042212=441

3. Approximate 512×167.97:

512×167.97512×168

Dividing 168 by 12 gives 14:

5×14=70

Step 2: Substitute the approximated values back into the equation.

42+441?=70

483?=70

Step 3: Solve for the question mark (?).

?=48370

?=413

Therefore, the approximate value that should replace the question mark is 413.
