Although , it may be piece of cake for you , I got a doubt here.

In option A, the rounded value up-to thousandth is give, The thousandth value is 5 and hence the hundrth value will be increase by one , therefor .455 will become .46 and hence the result. and answer A .

As per my knowledge , if the last digit is either 5 or greater leads to the rounding and next number become one higher. eg . .457 after rounding to hundredth will become .46.

Because I got an incorrect answer , surly I in the wrong boat. Please highlight the mistake.
Thanks in advance

According to me the answer should be A.
From first statement, we can clearly conclude that x will be 0.46 after rounding to hundredth value
& it alone is sufficient unlike the 2nd one

But definitely we are doing something wrong.
Sm1 plz help

Ist statement
It says when rounded to nearest thousand then the result is .455 , value of x could be .4549 or .4551

When x is .4549, Rounded to nearest 100th then it is .45

when x is .4551 , Rounded to nearest 100th then it is .46

In sufficient

2nd Statement thousandth digit is 5,

This statement Confused me, Question says What is the result when x is rounded to nearest 100th, Now we know that thousandth digit is 5 so, when rounded to nearest 100th , it will definitely be +1 for 100th digit, No matter what is the digit at 100th place.

We know the result must be +1 on hundredth digit, According to me it should be sufficient.

I just don't understand why they need the value of x from 1st statement...............??????



x can be .455 or .445 or .435
Nothing particular
so insufficient

I am a bit confused b the procedure of rounding the digits
I didn't understand the below
"When x is .4549, Rounded to nearest 100th then it is .45"
Is it right? According to me it should be 0.46 only.

Thanks it was really helpful
my all doubts regarding rounding are clear now.

Thanks goyalsau, prachich1987. good link . Intialy, I though we have to round off from the last digit and keep rounding off until the intended digit.

whats the OA for this ?

OA is C, its in picture.
