Approximation
In this type of question you have to find the approximate
value not the exact value. Some times the choices have very
small difference and we are confused with our result. Usually
five types of calculations are asked under this section. These
are Sum, Multiplication, Division, Root and Percentage. In
each case we will apply different type of calculations.
2)27,59,000
4) 28,00,000
= 2750000
=
1650
27,51,650
Req. Ans. = 703100 + 1480 = 704580 704500
If the options differ by a large number like 50,000 we
need not do this Calculation.
Division: In this case the dividend and the divisor should
either be incresed or decresed simultaneously. It should
be shifted to their nearest multiple of ten, hundred or
thousand depending upon the options.
Ex. 2: 810 3.9 = ?
1)205
2)207
3)209
4)211
Be carefull about such type of questions. The options
are very close. If we slightly increase the divisor by 0.1 and
keep the dividend constant then we will get the answer 202.5.
But the actual result is 207.692 207. So a slight increase or
dcrease in one side may cause a great deviation. So both the
dividend and divisor should be increased or deeresed. But if
the divisor is increased by 0.1, then Dividend will be increased
by how much?
See the formula
The value by which the dividend should be increased
= increase in divisor approximate value of the quotient
Using this formula we well get the the increase in dividend
will be (. 1) 200 = 20.
So the dividend will be 830.
Thus 830 4 = 207.5
Apart from these you have to remember the BODMAS
Rule mentioned in the previous chapter.
