Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
To round off a number to its nearest ten thousand we check the last four digits of the number. In case the number formed by these is 5000 or above, we round up the number to the nearest higher multiple of 10000 and in case the number is less than 5000, we round it down to nearest lower multiple of 10000.
The given number is 47300. Our options are 40000 and 50000. The last four digits of 47300 are 7300.
7300 >5000.
Therefore 47300 when rounded off to the nearest ten thousand is 50000.
