What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following questions?
(Note: You are not expected to calculate the exact value)
`16*002 xx 14*897 xx 20*334 = ?`

Options

A. 4100
B. 4300
C. 4500
D. 4800

Answer

To find the approximate value of the expression \( 16.002 \times 14.897 \times 20.334 \), we can round each number to a simpler form that makes calculations easier.

### Step 1: Round the numbers
- Round \( 16.002 \) to \( 16 \)
- Round \( 14.897 \) to \( 15 \)
- Round \( 20.334 \) to \( 20 \)

### Step 2: Rewrite the expression
Now, we can rewrite the expression using these rounded values:
\[ 16 \times 15 \times 20 \]

### Step 3: Calculate \( 16 \times 15 \)
First, we calculate \( 16 \times 15 \):
\[ 16 \times 15 = 240 \]

### Step 4: Multiply the result by \( 20 \)
Next, we multiply \( 240 \) by \( 20 \):
\[ 240 \times 20 = 4800 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the approximate value that should come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{4800} \]
