RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
2460
Approximation Method for Equation Sum
The question asks for the approximate value of the sum:
$895.98 + 185.01 + 851.86 + 524.09 = ?$
To find the approximate value quickly, we round each number to the nearest whole number or a convenient value.
Rounding Numbers
- $895.98$ is approximately $900$
- $185.01$ is approximately $185$
- $851.86$ is approximately $850$
- $524.09$ is approximately $525$
Calculating Approximate Sum
Now, add the rounded numbers:
$900 + 185 + 850 + 525 = 2460$
Comparing with Options
The calculated approximate sum is $2460$. Let's compare this with the given options:
- Option 1: 1490
- Option 2: 3540
- Option 3: 2460
- Option 4: 2010
The approximate value $2460$ matches Option 3 exactly.
For verification, the exact sum is $895.98 + 185.01 + 851.86 + 524.09 = 2456.94$, which is very close to $2460$.
