What approximate value will come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions. (You are not expected to calculate the exact value)
`41.979 xx (22)/(7) + 19.989%"of 530.014" - 26.021 = ?`

Options

A. 244
B. 198
C. 236
D. 212

Answer

To solve the expression \( 41.979 \times \frac{22}{7} + 19.989\% \text{ of } 530.014 - 26.021 = ? \) approximately, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Approximate the first term
We start with the term \( 41.979 \times \frac{22}{7} \).
- We can approximate \( 41.979 \) to \( 42 \).
- The fraction \( \frac{22}{7} \) is approximately \( 3.14 \) (which is the value of \(\pi\)), but for simplification, we can use \( \frac{22}{7} \approx 3 \).

So, we have:
\[ 42 \times 3 \approx 126 \]

### Step 2: Approximate the second term
Next, we approximate \( 19.989\% \text{ of } 530.014 \).
- We can approximate \( 19.989\% \) to \( 20\% \).
- The value \( 530.014 \) can be approximated to \( 530 \).

Now, we calculate \( 20\% \text{ of } 530 \):
\[ 20\% \text{ of } 530 = \frac{20}{100} \times 530 = 106 \]

### Step 3: Approximate the third term
Now, we approximate the last term \( -26.021 \).
- We can approximate \( -26.021 \) to \( -26 \).

### Step 4: Combine all the approximated values
Now we combine all the approximated values:
\[ 126 + 106 - 26 \]

Calculating this step-by-step:
1. \( 126 + 106 = 232 \)
2. \( 232 - 26 = 206 \)

### Step 5: Final approximation
The final result is approximately \( 206 \).

### Conclusion
Thus, the approximate value that will come in place of question mark (?) is \( 206 \).
