Solution

The correct option is A 16000
Number of offices = 178
Number of offices estimated to the nearest 100 gives 200 as 178 is close to 200 than to 100.

Number of employees = 79
Number of employees estimated to the nearest tens gives 80 as 79 is close to 80 than to 70.

Number of people who will attend the party (estimated)
= 200 × 80 = 16000
