a.1,234; 2,345; 6,784; 1,543

b.1,234; 1,543; 2,345; 6,784

c.1,543; 1,234; 2,345; 6,784

d.1,543; 1,234; 6,784; 2,345

Answer 1

Hint: Try to compare the numbers and write the orders of numbers from smallest to largest.

Complete step-by-step answer:

In the question we have to arrange numbers 1,234; 2,345; 6,784; 1,543 in ascending order.

Before doing we will first learn about sorting then we learn about its compound.

Sorting is a procedure to arrange a group of numbers or alphabets in ascending or descending order.

In general terms, Ascending means smallest to largest and Descending means largest to smallest.

Ascending order means the smallest or first or earliest will appear at the top of the list.

• For numbers or amounts, the sort is the smallest or largest integer. Lower amounts or numbers will be available at the top of the list.

• For letter/words, the sort is alphabetical from A to Z.

• For data with numbers and letters/words, such as address lines, the sort is most likely alpha-numeric meaning first 0-9 then A-Z.

• For Data, the sort will be earliest or oldest to the latest or recent. The oldest dates will be at the top of the list.      

In the case of Descending, the case will be just opposite to Ascending.

So, in question the numbers given are:

1,234    ;     2,345    ;      6,784    ;       1,543

We will arrange as smallest lowest

So, we can write it as,

1,234    ;    1,543     ;     2,345     ;      6,784

The correct option is ‘B’. 

Note: One can also delay comparing values with each other and first write the smallest and write it till the largest one is left.
