SBI Clerk Simplification questions carry a good weightage in SBI Clerk quantitative aptitude section. The more questions you practice you will get better at this topic. Approximation and simplification are the ways of finding the final result in quick manner using shortcut techniques and methods. The approximation should be within limits as over/under will make you get another answer choice. Simplification questions are good scoring ones, if you are good enough solve and simplify the given numbers in faster manner.

Solutions for Simplification questions:

40 x $\frac{4330}{100}$ + 59 + $\frac{5000}{100}$
= 1732 + 2950
= 4682

$\frac{43931}{2111}$ x 401 = 8345.01 ≈ 8300

After taking approximation equation will be
$\sqrt{6354}$ x 34.993 = 80 x 35 = 2800

$\sqrt[3]{4663}$ ≈ 17
17 + 349 = ? ÷ 21
366 x 21 = ?
? = 7686 ≈ 7680

After taking approximation equation will be 60 ÷ 12 x 6 = 30

8787 ÷ 343 = 25.61
$\sqrt{50}$ = 7.07
25.61 x 7.07 = 181.06 ≈ 180

303 ÷ 8 =37.875 ≈ 38
$\sqrt[3]{54821}$ = 37.98 ≈ 38
382

$\frac{5}{8}$ x 4011.33 = 2507.08
$\frac{7}{10}$ of 3411.22 = 2387.854
2507.08 + 2387.854 = 4894.934 ≈ 4890

23% of 6783 can be calculated as (20+3)% of 6783 = 1560.09
57% of 8453 can be calculated as (50+7)% of 8431 = 4805.67
Sum will be = 1560.09 + 4805.67 = 6365.7
