Just get to the ‘’ level. Note that the product of these two numbers should be 2+3 = 5 digits after the decimal point. This eliminates option ‘5’.
Also, the product of the last digits is ‘6’ (9 x 4 = 36). Hence, ‘6’ should be the last digit of the answer. This eliminates option ‘1’.
Also, note that 13 x 17 > 200. Hence, the answer should be a number starting with 2.something…
Hence, the answer is option’4’.
(Ans: 4)
Estimated Time to arrive at the answer = 10 seconds
