A Correct answer
Explanation

It can be solved as $27\times 1.\overline {2} \times 5.526\overline {2} \times 0.\overline {6}$
$= 27\times \left (1 + \dfrac {2}{9}\right )\times \dfrac {6}{9} \times (5.526\overline {2})$
$= 27\times \dfrac {11}{9}\times \dfrac {2}{3}\times (5.526\overline {2})$
$= 22\times (5.526\overline {2})$
$= 22\times (5.5 + 0.026\overline {2})$
$= 121 + (22\times 0.026\overline {2})$
$= 121 + 0.\overline {57}$
$= 121.\overline {57}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$\dfrac { 489.1375\times 0.0483\times 1.956 }{ 0.0873\times 92.581\times 99.749 } \approx \dfrac { 489\times 0.05\times 2 }{ 0.09\times 93\times 100 } $
$=\dfrac { 489 }{ 9\times 93\times 10 } $
$=\dfrac { 163 }{ 279 } \times \dfrac { 1 }{ 10 } $
$=\dfrac { 0.58 }{ 10 } $
$=0.058\approx 0.06$.

Find the value of $x$
$83^{27.3}\div 83^{1.4}\times 83^{46.8}=83^{31.9+x}$

  1. $64.1$
  2. $41.9$
  3. $40.8$
  4. $39.1$
  5. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

Consider L.H.S
$83^{27.3}\div 83^{1.4}\times 83^{46.8}$
$=(83)^{27.3-1.4+46.8}=(83)^{72.7}$
$\Rightarrow 31.9+x=72.7$
$\Rightarrow x=72.7-31.9=40.8$.
