What approximate value will come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions
`57.5 xx 13.98 + 8748 div 13.98 - 21.97 xx 8 = ?`

Options

A. 1300
B. 1350
C. 1205
D. 1254

Answer

To find the approximate value of the expression \( 57.5 \times 13.98 + \frac{8748}{13.98} - 21.97 \times 8 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Round Off the Numbers
We will round off each number to the nearest integer for simplification.
- \( 57.5 \) rounds to \( 58 \)
- \( 13.98 \) rounds to \( 14 \)
- \( 8748 \) remains \( 8748 \) (as it is already an integer)
- \( 21.97 \) rounds to \( 22 \)
- \( 8 \) remains \( 8 \)

Thus, the expression becomes:
\[ 58 \times 14 + \frac{8748}{14} - 22 \times 8 \]

### Step 2: Perform the Multiplications
Now we will calculate the multiplications:
- \( 58 \times 14 = 812 \)
- \( 22 \times 8 = 176 \)

So, we can rewrite the expression as:
\[ 812 + \frac{8748}{14} - 176 \]

### Step 3: Perform the Division
Next, we will calculate the division:
- \( \frac{8748}{14} = 624 \)

Now the expression is:
\[ 812 + 624 - 176 \]

### Step 4: Perform the Addition and Subtraction
Now we will add and subtract the values:
1. First, add \( 812 + 624 = 1436 \)
2. Then, subtract \( 1436 - 176 = 1260 \)

### Final Result
Thus, the approximate value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \approx 1260 \]
