Question 10: What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation ?
$695.95\div 29.07 \times ? + 40.25 = 399.99$

a) 14

b) 17

c) 12

d) 16

e) 15

$0.001 + x = 0.01$

$x = 0.01-0.001$

$x=0.009$

Hence d

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

($\dfrac{1}{9}\div\dfrac{1}{9}$  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  $\dfrac{1}{6}$

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

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

=> $\frac{9875}{25} + 215 – ? = 310$

=> $395 + 215 – 310 = ?$

=> $? = 610 – 310 = 300$

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

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

= $4 \times 7 = 28$

$\approx$ 27

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

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

= $24.75 \approx 24$

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

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

= $4 \times 8$

= $32 \approx 34$

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

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

= 3808.63 $\approx$ 3810

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.

Let the number to replace the question mark be equal to $X$
Hence, $695.95\div 29.07 \times X + 40.25 = 399.99$
$399.99 \approx 400$ and $695.95 \approx 696$ and $29.07 \approx 29$
So, the expression looks like $696 \div 29 \times X + 40 = 400$
Hence, $24 \times X = 360$ or $X = 15$
