Question

Which of the following numbers is not rounded off to 230 when being rounded to the nearest ten?

• A. 234
• B. 235
• C. 228
• D. 225

Answer 1

The correct option is B 235

The given numbers are 225, 228, 235 and 228. We need the number that is the nearest to 230, i.e., we have to round off 25, 28, 35 and 34 to the nearest ten to check which one becomes 30.

Rounding off 225 and 228 to the nearest 10


Both 225 and 228 will be rounded off to 230.
Rounding off 234 and 235 to the nearest 10

234 rounds down to 230 but 235 will be rounded off to 240.

Therefore, 235 will not be rounded off to 230 among all the options.
