Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we need to determine the nomenclature of the Indian rupee in the Indian system. For this, we will tabulate the information for the nomenclature of the different number of digits in the Indian system.

Complete step-by-step answer:
According to the Indian system,
The digit in a one-digit number is known as Ones.
The first digit in a two-digit number is known as Tens.
The first digit in a three-digit number is known as Hundred.
The first digit in a four-digit number is known as Thousand.
The first digit in a five-digit number is known as Ten Thousand.
The first digit in a six-digit number is known as Lakhs.
The first digit in a seven-digit number is known as Ten Lakhs.

Number of Digits	Nomenclature
1	Ones
2	Tens
3	Hundred
4	Thousands
5	Ten Thousand
6	Lakhs
7	Ten Lakhs
8	Crores
9	Ten Crores

The lowest seven-digit number starts with 1 and is followed by six 0’s, i.e., 1000000 and the highest seven-digit number has seven 9’s i.e, 9999999 which is abbreviated as Ninety Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousands Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine.
Hence, we can say that “A 7-digit number starts with Ten Lakhs place in the Indian system.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: It is interesting to note here that, in the British system, a seven-digit number starts with 1 million and thus 10 million in the British system is equivalent to 1 Crore in the Indian system.
