Question

Estimate the product of 766 $\times$ 248 by rounding off each factor to its greatest place.

• A. 2,40,000
• B. 1,40,000
• C. 1,60,000
• D. 3,50,000

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1,60,000

Clearly, each factor is a three digit number. So, we round off each factor to the nearest hundreds.

766 is rounded off to 800

248 is rounded off to 200

Therefore estimated product = 800 $\times$ 200 = 1,60,000
