Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

By applying BODMAS we have
=$21+(68\div17)$
=21+4
=25

2) Answer (B)

($\dfrac{1}{9}\div\dfrac{1}{9}$  of  $\dfrac{1}{3}$) of $\dfrac{1}{6} = (\dfrac{1}{9} \div \dfrac{1}{27}$)  of  $\dfrac{1}{6}$

$= \dfrac{1}{9} \times 27$  of  $\dfrac{1}{6}$

$= 3 \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

3) Answer (C)

The given expression can be approximated to $\frac{30}{5} – \frac{8}{4} + \frac{32}{8}$
= $6 – 2 + 4$
=$8$.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.

4) Answer (B)

The given expression can be approximated to $\frac{108}{3*3} – \frac{45}{9}$
=$\frac{108}{9} – \frac{45}{9}$
=$\frac{63}{9}$
=$7$.
Therefore, option B is the right answer.

5) Answer (B)

The given expression can be approximated to $\frac{72}{9} * \frac{63}{7}$.
=$8*9$
=$72$
Therefore, option B is the right answer.

6) Answer (C)

The given expression can be simplified as $50 – \frac{36}{42} *49$
=$50 – \frac{6}{7} *49$
=$50 – 42$
= $8$.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.

7) Answer (B)

The given expression can be approximated to $\frac{\sqrt{81 * 441}}{7}$
=$\frac{9*21}{7}$
=$9*3$
=$27$.
Therefore, option B is the right answer.

8) Answer (C)

Expression : 9876 $\div$  24.96 + 215.005 – ? = 309.99

=> $\frac{9875}{25} + 215 – ? = 310$

=> $395 + 215 – 310 = ?$

=> $? = 610 – 310 = 300$

9) Answer (E)

Expression : $45.709 \div 11.342 \times 6.667 = ?$

= $\frac{44}{11} \times 7$

= $4 \times 7 = 28$

$\approx$ 27

10) Answer (E)

Expression : $54.786 \div 10.121 \times 4.454 = ?$

= $\frac{55}{10} \times 4.5$

= $24.75 \approx 24$

11) Answer (E)

Expression : $59.786 \div 14.444 \times 8.321 = ?$

= $\frac{60}{15} \times 8$

= $4 \times 8$

= $32 \approx 34$

12) Answer (C)

Expression : $4275 \div 496 \times (21)^{2} = ?$

= $\frac{4275 \times 441}{495}$

= 3808.63 $\approx$ 3810

13) Answer (A)

Since an approximate answer is sufficient, you can rewrite the question as $10000 \div 50 \times 5^{2} – 1130$

Following BDMAS rule the result is 3870.

The nearest value is 3800.

Hence Option A is the correct answer.

14) Answer (C)

The formula we use to simplify the expression is (a+b)(a-b) = $a^2- b^2$
So, $\frac{(\sqrt{334} + \sqrt{223}) * (\sqrt{334} – \sqrt{223})}{(\sqrt{111} + \sqrt{11}) * (\sqrt{111} – \sqrt{11})}$ = $\frac{334 – 223}{111-11}$ = 1.11

15) Answer (D)

For this fraction, the numerator and denominator do not have any common factors and thus it is irreducible. Thus, it is better to first approximate the denominator to a number which can divide the numerator easily.

29/182 $\approx$ 30/180 = 0.16
