Question

Estimate to the nearest thousand:

$3460\times 7599$

• A. 2,40,00,000
• B. 24,00,000
• C. 2,10,00,000
• D. 21,00,000

Answer 1

The correct option is A

2,40,00,000

3460 $\times$ 7599

3460 can be rounded off to 3000,

as 3460 < 3500

7599 is rounded off to 8000,

as 7599 > 7500

Hence the estimate is

3000 $\times$ 8000

3 $\times$ 8 = 24 followed by 6 zeroes = 2,40,00,000
