Concept of Approximation

This portion covers about 5 questions in Bank PO Quantitative Aptitudes

section.
This is one of the easiest and high scoring portion. One needs to solve the
questions of approximation by taking the nearest approximate values and mark
the answers accordingly.



Example
2959.85 16.001 34.99 =?
(a) 160
(b) 150
(c) 140
(d) 180
(e) 170
Solution
? = 2959.85 16.001 34.99
2960 16 35
2960/16 35
185 - 35
150
Hence, answer is (2)

Example
(1702 68) 136.05 =?
(a) 3500
(b) 3550
(c) 3450
(d) 3400
(e) 3525

Concept of Approximation
Note:
If it is given 3.009 then the approximate value is 3
If it is given 6.99 then the approximate value is 7
But if it is given 4.45 then we will take it to 4.50 not 4 or 5.

Comment
= (1702 68) 136.05
(1700 68) 136
3400
Hence answer is (d).

Example
16.5 x 2400 = 2/3 of?
(a)588
(b)594
(c)592
(d)590
(e)582
Solution
We know 16.5 % = 1/6(very closely)
Now the question is 1/6 x 2400 = 2/3 of ?
Answer is 600.
But we manipulated something which is smaller than the actual value so
answer is smaller and closer to 600, just tick 594. This is the technique of
accurate approximation.
