What approximate value will come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions. (You are not expected to calculate the exact value)
`1485.988 + 212.04 - 1703.99 = ? - (11.02)^(2)`

Options

A. 95
B. 115
C. 130
D. 102

Answer

To solve the equation \(1485.988 + 212.04 - 1703.99 = ? - (11.02)^{2}\) and find the approximate value of \(?\), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Approximate Each Term
We will round each number to the nearest whole number for simplicity:
- \(1485.988 \approx 1486\)
- \(212.04 \approx 212\)
- \(1703.99 \approx 1704\)
- \(11.02 \approx 11\)

### Step 2: Rewrite the Equation with Approximations
Now, substituting the approximated values into the equation gives us:
\[ 1486 + 212 - 1704 = ? - 11^2 \]

### Step 3: Calculate \(11^2\)
Calculating \(11^2\):
\[ 11^2 = 121 \]

### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Equation
Now, we can rewrite the equation:
\[ 1486 + 212 - 1704 = ? - 121 \]

### Step 5: Simplify the Left Side
Calculating the left side:
\[ 1486 + 212 = 1698 \]
Now subtract \(1704\):
\[ 1698 - 1704 = -6 \]
So, we have:
\[ -6 = ? - 121 \]

### Step 6: Solve for \(?\)
Now, we can solve for \(?\):
\[ ? = -6 + 121 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ ? = 115 \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the approximate value that will come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{115} \]
